Lincoln, GB

Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral punctuates the city skyline and can be seen for many miles. Once the tallest building in the world (before the central spire fell down in 1548), it is still impressive in scale and stature, with its iconic three towers, the highly carved stone west front with its Norman arches and , the largest east window of its type in Europe and a ten sided Chapter House with impressive flying buttresses.

Jew's Court and Medieval Synagogue

The Jew's Court and Medieval Synagogue in Lincoln were built in the second half of the 12th century. It was repaired in the 17th century, in the 1930s, 1990s and 2015. This Norman-style stone building now serves as a restaurant.

St Michael

Rebuilt on the site of the medieval church, which was destroyed by a bomb on the night of 8th/9th May 1941, St Michael's is built of concrete with Ancaster stone facings outside. The tall windows allow the building to be filled with light. Unusually, there is no east window.
