On July 26th, 1681, the Rev. John Wray, M.A., F.R.S., writes in his
diary:--
"We (Mr. Wray and Mr. Willoughby) began our journey northwards from
Cambridge, and that day, passing through Huntingdon and Stilton, we
rode as far as Peterborough, 25 miles. There I first heard the
Cathedral Service. The Choristers made us pay money for coming into
the choir with our spurs on."
