the following morning we upsticks and got the bus into the City of Lincoln, the main reason was to look around the Cathedral and a bit of retail therapy in the City
What a fantastic Cathedral, view of the East Window and the Chapter House to the right.
The Cathedral has three towers and is the third largest in the country.
The Bishop's Eye window on the South side, more on this when we enter the Cathedral.
Very interesting main door.
Ornate vertical columns on each side.
Close up of one of the decorated columns.
Originally the Cathedral had spires on top of the towers but over time they came down.
Lastly before we entered, a look at the city gate.
Great pictures of a stunning building.. I feel we just don't really appreciate the hours and skills necessary, that went into decorating these historic , beautiful places... those carvings on the columns... mind blowing! Ta Mike
