More about this scene

The cruciform church of St Kyneburga is the most important Norman church in Cambridgeshire. An inscription records its consecration in 1124 to the daughter of Paeda, King of Mercia and founder of Peterborough Abbey. The tower is decorated by window openings that are repeated as blind arcades; the spire was added in the 14th century.

We scattered some of my father's ashes here in March 2013. He was Arthur Benjamin Wyldbore, b 1921. His family was from Castor and Ailsworth and though he was born in London in 1921, he spent a lot of time with his grandparents and aunts and uncles in Castor and Peterborough. They were Wyldbores, Parkers, Carters, Browns. Milton Ferry Bridge is still a very lovely place, over the River Nene.
