| 説明 | There is a fine latten brass eagle lectern, dating from about 1443, which was said to be originally from Fotheringhay. It was dredged from the River Nene in the early 19th century, having probably been hidden there before the dissolution of Fotheringhay College in 1548. Local legend has it that the eagle once had golden (or silver) claws and the marks where they were cut off by a sword are still visible. There are some visible marks on the globe at the end of his toes but no evidence of what caused them.By all appearances he is a twin to the one at Holy Trinity Coventry.St Peter's was founded by the Abbey of Peterborough in the 8th century. It is essentially a harmonious and light filled building of the 13th century. It stands amongst the town and school buildings, tucked away and surrounded by a wealth of Georgian tombstones. The school and the town, with its market, have developed around it.From a distance its tall slender tower topped by a recessed needle spire, is most prominent. It is the tallest spire in the County. It contains a 15th century brass lectern, a 17th century brass chandelier, choir stalls by Sir George G Scott and a host of 13th-19th century monuments. It has one of the best stone porches in the county, erected by a rich merchant, Robert Wyatt, around 1485. |
