The Peterborough area lays on the boundary of two great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Mercia, to the west, and East Anglia to the east. The abbey at Peterborough was founded by Mercian royalty during the second half of the 7th century and came to acquire large amounts of land. With the abbey came also the beginnings of the settlement that would eventually grow to become the medieval town.
