Church of St John the Baptist, Peterborough, Medieval parish church in Cathedral Square, Peterborough, England.
The Church of St John the Baptist stands near Peterborough Cathedral, featuring perpendicular architecture with intricate stone carvings and detailed window tracery.
The church structure, dating from 1402, replaced an earlier 11th-century building that stood further east before the town center relocated to its current position.
The stained glass window installed in 1968 commemorates local figures including vicar Symon Gunton and Nurse Edith Cavell, connecting the church to regional history.
Located in Cathedral Square, the church maintains regular services and remains open to visitors who can examine its 15th-century font and architectural elements.
The church survived a post-Civil War plan to demolish it for building materials, preserving its original medieval structure for future generations.
