Lincoln Cathedral UK

Lincoln Cathedral is one of the finest medieval buildings in Europe. In 1092 the Cathedral at Lincoln built by Bishop Remigius was consecrated. Remigius, was the first Norman Bishop of the largest diocese in medieval England, extending from the Humber to the Thames and in 1072 William instructed that the Bishopric should be moved to Lincoln.

A castle had already been established in Lincoln by William, located in the south-west corner of the old Roman upper city. The new cathedral was built of Lincolnshire oolitic limestone opposite the castle in the south-east corner

Im proud to be from such a beautiful city, The surrounding area is just as stunning!

Yes it is a great place. Trouble is when you are a kid you don't realise that all that history is part of your growing up. I live in Australia and I can honestly tell you that there is something missing here - it's culture beyond sport and booze. I'll be visiting again this year just to top up my batteries!

There will be more video soon

How many cathedrals have you visited? I recently watched the video on Wells as well. It's incredible! I live right in the middle of the U.S. and thus have virtually no architectural history surrounding me whatsoever. I've been to the UK and it's such a beautiful country. I already have a list of museums, castles, cathedrals, and country homes to see for the next time I visit! Thanks for the extraordinary videos.

Imagine how magnificent it was when all the towers had spires,it must have been an amazing sight.

in a cash strapped diocese like this , they would have been crazy to turn down a facility fee , whether it be for a dan brown film or not !

[langleyportfolio]

They took in Dan Brown's cr*p and totally ripped a media concept that I pitched them. Unethical! Don't get me started!

[Dioneelffire]

I have a great view of the cathedral from my window. It's truly magical.

Lincoln cathedral is one of my all time favourite places and visiting again earlier this year i was pleasantly surprised to find that they aren't among the money grabbing set , unlike my local cathedral at York !!!
