Taken from the ramparts of Lincoln Castle. Gives the scale of the building, and the command it has over the landscape around it. Imagine how this building must have looked to the locals when first built, in the 11th Century?

Standing tall over the city of Lincoln for hundreds of years and appearing in Young Victoria and The Da Vinci Code, Lincoln Cathedral is an awe-inspiring and magnificent landmark recognised all over the world. William Conquerer commissioned Remiquius de Fécamp, the first Bishop of Lincoln to build Lincoln Cathedral in the 11th century during the Norman invasion of Britain.
Lincoln Cathedral was once the tallest building in the world after the spire was added in 1311, overtaking the Great Pyramid of Giza until 1549 when the spire collapsed in a turbulent storm.
