Title: A Week Of Historic Discoveries Enriches Understanding Of Lincolnshire’s Past
What a remarkable week it has been for the residents of Lincoln and Lincolnshire. A flood of historic revelations has illuminated our community’s distinguished heritage. Numerous intriguing stories have arisen, giving us a deeper insight into our shared past stretching from ancient eras to the secrets that lie beneath our esteemed Cathedral.
The residents of Lelley were taken all the way back to the Iron Age through an exciting discovery of an ancient coin from around 50-10BC. This rare artefact offers a tangible connection to our Celtic ancestry, and a poignant reminder of the long and varied history that has shaped our Lincolnshire community.
Parallelly, the magnificent beacon of our city, the Lincoln Cathedral, has been making historic revelations of its own. Ground-penetrating radar technology has gifted archaeologists with a unique opportunity to uncover almost 2,000 years of hitherto unexplored history. We await with bated breath, the unveiling of ‘interesting surprises’ that promises to augment our understanding of the Cathedral’s significance.
This state-of-the-art radar technology has also aided further exploration of the Cathedral’s past. The BBC’s reportage on the innovative use of this technology has shone a light on the hitherto hidden facets of the Cathedral’s complex history.
Adding more to our knowledge about the county’s past, a local podcast named ‘Delving into Our Past: Lincolnshire’s Hidden Gems and Spider T’s Heroic Legacy’ has been weaving intriguing narratives attached to our lineage.
Our reflections on these wide-ranging discoveries only accentuate the historical richness that envelops us. Our Celtic forebears, the ancient coin, enigmas below the Cathedral’s flooring, enthralling narratives from our homegrown podcast – they each contribute in reinforcing the legacy of our beautiful Lincolnshire. Here’s to another week of exploration and discovery.
