Lincoln

This view of the south side of the cathedral is taken from within the Vicars Court, where the vicars lived. Their function was to stand in for the normally absentee cathedral dignitaries and Prebendaries. The west range here, although mostly medieval, was much changed in 1875. Beyond is the Preceptory, with its dark-painted Georgian sash windows inserted into medieval stonework.

This marvellously atmospheric view along the High Street looks across towards Lincoln’s great medieval minster church which dominates the city and the countryside for miles around – the beautiful central tower is the tallest of the Middle Ages in England after the Boston Stump. The cathedral retains some Norman work, but most of it dates from the 13th century, with additions of the 14th century.

This rural scene, about a mile east of the city centre along Monks Road, is now much changed. This monastic cell of St Mary’s Abbey in York, of which the chancel remains, is now in a municipal park and is surrounded by a bowling green and fenced football pitch. The chancel of about 1300 is surrounded by railings.

We have now passed through Stonebow into the southern part of the High Street, which grew up along the old Roman road south of the walled city. The buildings visible through the main archway all went after World War I; then, prestige and chain stores such as Burtons and Lincoln’s own department stores congregated in the area between Stonebow and The Strait.

This wonderful atmospheric view looks through Stonebow into the continuation of High Street which follows the line of the Roman road to London, later known as Ermine Street. To the right is the grandiose Italianate bank of 1883 by the noted architect John Gibson, now the Natwest Bank; its fine banking hall has recently been very well restored.
