Lincolns most visited

Lincoln Cathedral

The cathedral in Lincoln is one of the finest examples of gothic architecture in the country.
It has the most spectacular  positioning of all of Englands cathedrals allowing it to be seen from twenty miles away! This is not surprising as it was said to have been at one point the tallest building in the world.
However, the spires that once gave this cathedral a stagering overall height of 525 feet collapsed in 1549 and were never re-built.

The cathedral was commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1072 and was built mainly in three periods. The norman, early english period and then later the 14th and 15th centuries. Various restorations have been carried out ever since.
The cathedral is full to the brim with medieval architectural beauty. From the magnificent stained glass windows to it’s mischievous and iconic stone imp, said to have been turned to stone by an angel after wreaking havoc on the cathedral and the city.

Lincoln Cathedral is quite rightly Lincoln’s most visited    attraction with people flocking to see it’s beauty and recently to see the setting of the     blockbuster movie The Davinci Code’.
The cathedral is a must for any tourist.
