Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Magna Cartasta on olemassa kolme säilynyttä kopiota, ja Lincolnin tuomiokirkko pitää yhtä niistä upeassa holvikattoisessa kapitulihallissaan. Sen keskuspiikki teki siitä aikoinaan maailman korkeimman rakennuksen 160 metrillä, kunnes myrsky kaatoi sen vuonna 1549.
Kohokohdat: Katso ylös Enkelikuoron kattoon, ja näet yli 300 veistettyä enkeliä katsomassa takaisin sinuun, jokaisella eri ilmeet ja asennot. Keskiaikainen "Lincolnin peikko" pilariin kaiverrettuna on ilkikurinen pieni kiviolento, jolla on ristissä oleva jalka, ja legendan mukaan enkeli muutti peikon kiveksi kesken ilkityön juuri tässä.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- 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.
