概要
クイックファクト: 三通の現存するマグナ・カルタ写本のうち、リンカーン大聖堂はその一枚を壮麗なヴォールト天井の参事会室に所蔵している。かつてその中央尖塔は高さ160メートルで世界一の高さを誇ったが、1549年の暴風雨で倒壊した。
見どころ: 天使聖歌隊席の天井を見上げると、300体以上の彫刻された天使たちがそれぞれ異なる表情やポーズであなたを見つめ返している。中世の「リンカーン・インプ」は柱に彫られたいたずら好きな小さな石の生き物で、片足を組んでおり、伝説によれば、まさにいたずらの最中に天使がここで悪魔を石に変えたという。
インサイダーヒント
- 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.
