The Chapter House of the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Dating from 1190 (100 years after the Catheeral itself) a decagonal chapter house of limestone and Purbeck with a central column and nine side walls, with tenth side to the Chapter House vestibule on the west side. Within are seats for the chapter. The eight external flying buttresses were perhaps added in or after the latter part of the 13th century. It contains important early Y traceried windows. Its conical roof was truncated into a hipped form by James Essex in 1761-2 but reverted to a cone in 1801. It was slightly damaged by an earthquake in June 1931.
