Peterborough Cathedral - the present building, was begun in 1118 and finally consecrated in 1238. This church is built largely of Barnack Ragstone a local limestone quarried at Barnack near Stamford. Despite general changes in style the building was completed to the western end of the Nave in the Norman, or Romanesque, style in which it had been begun. Only in completing the Western transept and adding the Great West Front Portico, did the medieval masons adopt the, then more modern, gothic style.
