Lincoln & its cathedral

While I was in Leicester England for a few days, I visited Lincoln with my friend Lynne. Great huge cathedral, old cobbled streets, medieval buildings. We had lunch at a fabulous cheese shop too.

Here are the cheeses of England:

The walk up to the cathedral was very steep.

Old houses in the Tudor style.

Lynne and I went into the cathedral. It’s very large and airy.

As we walked around, we passed a small museum, with this simple gold plate.

There a large wooden door to the outside with a sign I quite liked.

Then there was a word painting of the church facade. Expand it to see how the artist used the word “prayer” to fashion the building.

While we were there, the angle of the sun on the windows made for some unexpected shots of colored pavement. Aren’t they wonderful?

As we made our way down into town for lunch, I caught a glimpse of the cathedral towers through the trees.

Now when I read British history, I notice when Lincoln is mentioned. And is mentioned a lot. This was a very important town throughout the Middle Ages.
