Om
Hurtige fakta: Tre overlevende kopier af Magna Carta findes, og Lincoln Cathedral har en af dem i sit smukke hvælvede kapitelhus. Dets centrale spir gjorde det engang til den højeste bygning i verden med 160 meter, indtil en storm væltede det i 1549.
Højdepunkter: Kig op i loftet af Angel Choir, og du vil opdage over 300 udskårne engle, der kigger tilbage på dig, hver med forskellige udtryk og stillinger. Den middelalderlige "Lincoln Imp" skåret ind i en søjle er en lille fræk stenfigur med et krydslagt ben, og legenden siger, at en engel forvandlede en imp til sten midt i frækheder lige her.
Insidertips
- Climb the tower for panoramic views over Lincolnshire, but book ahead as spaces are limited to small groups.
- The Wren Library above the cloisters holds the Magna Carta copy, but it is only open for limited hours on specific days, so check the schedule before you go.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the cathedral sits at the top of Steep Hill and involves walking on uneven medieval stone floors inside.
- Visit during Advent to hear the famous Lincoln Cathedral Choir performing in the spectacular acoustic setting.
