Building commenced 1072 in the early gothic style. It was Consecrated 1092. Some believe that it was the tallest building in the world. Its 160 meter central spire completed in 1311 held that title for 238 years until the spire collapsed in 1548. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK at around 5,000 square metres It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held ... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have." The cathedral also houses the burial tomb of Katherine Swynford, wife of John of Gaunt, see Bolingbroke Castle info. It also has some hidden medieval graffiti; ask me and I’ll tell you where to look.

Another must visit place whilst in Lincoln, combine with Lincoln Castle as they are right next to each other. The Cathedral is a stunning building with its gothic style and high elevation within Lincoln it really is something to behold- if you've ever visited Notre Dame and was impressed then this is equally as impressive. Try to find the Lincoln Imp, which is great fun if you've got kids. Religious service held on Sunday with restricted entry
