Lincoln Cathedral

The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, commonly known as Lincoln Cathedral stands on the hill in the centre of the City of Lincoln in Lincolnshire.

This is one of the great cathedrals of the Church of England, begun 1088. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years. It is the third largest cathedral in Britain and is Lincolnshire's largest building. 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."
