Description
Lincoln Cathedral is one of the finest medieval buildings in
Europe, which towers above Lincoln, a prominent landmark for
miles around. The imposing West Front incorporates the
surviving part of the first Romanesque Cathedral dating from
1072. Most of the Cathedral dates from the 13th century
when, inspired by the leadership of St Hugh (Bishop from
1186-1200), the Cathedral was re-built in the new gothic
style. Later generations added the wonderful carved screen,
the 14th century misericords, the Wren Library

I was born in Lincoln and have visited our spectacular Cathedral more times than I care to remember .... Every time it takes my breath away with it's beauty.
Simply the most awe-inspiring building I've seen.
