==Burials== {{more citations needed section|date=February 2019}} [[File:Tomb of Catherine of Aragon at Peterborough Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, UK.jpg|thumb|right|The grave of [[Catherine of Aragon]], the first wife of [[Henry VIII]]. The gold lettering is modern.]] *[[Kyneburga, Kyneswide and Tibba]]: Kyneburga and Kyneswide were sisters (daughters of [[King Penda of Mercia]]). Kyneburga (d. c. 680) founded an Abbey for both monks and nuns in [[Castor, Cambridgeshire|Castor]], becoming the first Abbess (Kyneswide succeeded her). Kyneburga was buried in her church, but both of their remains were later translated (before 972) to Peterborough Abbey, now Peterborough Cathedral, along with those of their kinswoman, Tibba. Kyneburga became revered as a saint soon after her death. Her remains were moved once more to [[Thorney Abbey]] some time later. All three women are considered Saints. *[[Γlfric Puttoc]] (died 1051), medieval [[Archbishop of York]] and [[Bishop of Worcester]] *[[Ralph the Timid]] (died 1057), [[Earl of Hereford]] and nephew of [[Edward the Confessor]] *[[Cynesige]], [[Archbishop of York]] (1051β1060) *[[Ralph the Staller]] (c. 1011β1068), (in the Abbey) *Alexander of Holderness, 12th century [[Abbot]] of [[Peterborough]] *[[Catherine of Aragon]] (1485β1536), Queen of England, first wife and queen-consort of Henry VIII *[[Mary, Queen of Scots]] (1542β1587), following execution at nearby [[Fotheringhay Castle]], was buried in Peterborough between 1587 and 1612, before being disinterred and reinterred in [[Westminster Abbey]] *[[John Chambers (bishop)|John Chambers]], first Bishop of Peterborough (1541β1556) *Robert Scarlett ("Old Scarlett") (1496β1594), [[Sexton (office)|sexton]] of Peterborough Cathedral, who dug graves for both Catherine of Aragon and Mary, Queen of Scots, during many years of service (just inside the Cathedral)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/site-unseen-peterborough-cathedral-1588586.html|title=Site unseen: Peterborough Cathedral|date=27 June 1995|website=The Independent|access-date=16 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190217033223/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/site-unseen-peterborough-cathedral-1588586.html|archive-date=17 February 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/opinion/shakespeare-hamlet-peterborough-cathedral-and-old-scarlett-1-8054553|title=Shakespeare, Hamlet, Peterborough Cathedral and Old Scarlett|website=peterboroughtoday.co.uk|date=13 July 2017 |access-date=16 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190217030226/https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/opinion/shakespeare-hamlet-peterborough-cathedral-and-old-scarlett-1-8054553|archive-date=17 February 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> *[[Richard Howland]], Bishop of Peterborough (1584β1600) *[[Francis Dee (bishop)|Francis Dee]], Bishop of Peterborough (1634β1638) *[[John Towers (bishop)|John Towers]], Bishop of Peterborough (1639β1649) *[[John Hinchliffe]], [[Bishop of Peterborough]] (1769β1794) *[[William Connor Magee]], Bishop of Peterborough and [[Archbishop of York]] (1821β1891) *Rev [[Lewis Clayton]] *Bishop [[Spencer Madan]] *Bishop [[John Hinchliffe]] *[[Richard Cumberland (philosopher)]], Bishop of Peterborough (1691-1718) *Bishop [[William Connor Magee]], Archbishop of York ===Other Memorials=== [[File:Memorial to Edith Cavell, Peterborough Cathedral.jpg|thumb|Memorial to Edith Cavell, Peterborough Cathedral by [[Mahomet Thomas Phillips]]]] *[[George Alcock]] (1912-2000) astronomer *[[Edith Cavell]], nurse executed by the Germans *[[William Ingram (priest)|William Clavell Ingram]], Dean of Peterborough *[[William Latymer]], Dean of Peterborough *[[Francis Jeune]] (1806-1868) Bishop of Peterborough *Bishop [[Spencer Leeson]] (window) *Arthur Richard Sculthorpe (1903-1974) campaigner for the deaf-blind *[[Bill Westwood]] (1925-1999), Bishop of Peterborough *Sgt Thomas Hunter of [[Kurri Kurri, New South Wales]] ===Reliquary at Peterborough=== A number of [[saint]]s were interred in the altar at [[Peterborough]]<ref name="page 255">Nicholas Brooks, Catherine Cubitt, St. Oswald of Worcester (Continuum, 1 January 1996) [https://books.google.com/books?id=4MQOCeT9YkcC&pg=PA255 page 255]</ref> [[Wilfrid]], [[Tatberht]], [[Sicgrid]] nicknamed ''Pius Pater'', [[Botwine]] ''reverndus sacerdos'',<ref name="page 255"/> Albert ''praeclarus minister'', [[Wulfgar of Peterborough|Wulfgar]] and Wildegel ''modestus''.
