Sightseeing
Only a short walk along the beck and through the cemetery, leads you to the ancient site of Bishop's Palace. The remains of which survives well as a series of substantial earthworks, and boards provide information of the site and how the local Parish Council and archaeological excavators have worked together to show the survival of buried remains while leaving the majority of deposits intact, preserving valuable evidence for social and economic activity on the site. As a result of detailed archaeological survey and historical research the remains are quite well understood, the association of the earthwork remains of the palace and the development of a particular high-status site throughout the medieval period. The survival of medieval garden remains is very rare, and together with the remains of the palace buildings provides an insight into medieval society.

City/town information
This magnificent Cathedral dates from 1072. Enjoy an afternoon in this beautiful building and relish in its history.
Alexander "the Magnificent" (Bishop 1123-48) managed to partially restore the Norman Cathedral after a fire in around 1141. His contributions include commissioning the famous 12th century Romanesque frieze on the West Front. Stop there to take in this incredible sight.
In 1185 an earthquake caused structural damage that was repaired by St Hugh (Bishop 1186-1200) from 1192 onwards. In 1255 Henry III approved a petition by the Dean and Chapter to take down part of the Roman city wall to extend the Cathedral. This new Angel Choir was consecrated in 1280 and became an important centre for pilgrimage until the Reformation.
In the 14th Century the central tower and those of the West end were heightened, and all had spires until 1549 when that of the central tower blew down. With this spire Lincoln Cathedral had reputedly been the tallest building in the world, at 525 feet being 3 foot higher than the great pyramid!
Two magnificent rose windows light the great transept. The earliest is the Dean's Eye window in the north transept dating from 1220, still with much of its original mediaeval glass depicting the Last Judgement.
Lincoln Cathedral owns one of only four surviving copies of Magna Carta, signed in 1215 and brought back to Lincoln by the Bishop of Lincoln, which is now on loan to and resides in, Lincoln Castle. (another great place to visit nearby)
And last but not least is the famous Lincoln Imp - the little devil perched high in the Angel Choir overlooking St Hugh's shrine. He was turned to stone, according to the legend, by the angels because he caused mayhem in the Cathedral. He is now the symbol of the Lincolnshire and the Lincoln football team (the Imps) See if you can spot him hiding!
