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.
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.
There are known to have been two churches built on the present site. The first was a larger stone possibly thatched building dating back to the Saxon or Norman period. The present church and burial vault were built for Richard (the 4th Earl Scarbrough 1725-82) in the classical style around 1775 and is believed to have been designed by Lancelot 'Capability Brown the great 18th century landscape architect.
