A captivating image taken several months ago has sparked renewed appreciation for Lincoln’s impressive architectural masterpiece, the Cathedral, and its historical surroundings in the Bailgate district. This magnificent structure has a lore as monumental as its spires once were, engaging both locals and visitors alike.
Notably, from 1311 to 1549, Lincoln Cathedral held the prestigious title of being the world’s tallest edifice, surpassing even the Great Pyramid of Giza. This record could have stood until 1890 if not for the unfortunate collapse of its spire.
A mere stone’s throw from the Cathedral, Lincoln Castle contributes to the area’s abundant historical narrative. The castle is renowned for harbouring one of the original versions of the Magna Carta, a key document in England’s legal past. Such is the enduring impact of this document that it has inspired the name of a local pub in the Bailgate, serving as a continual reminder of the city’s extensive history.
For those captivated by history, or simply drawn to architectural beauty, Lincoln’s Cathedral and the Bailgate district provide a fascinating step back in time.
