Lindum Colonia, as Lincoln was known to the Romans, was the base of the 9th Legion Hispana. The legion ruled Eastern England from about AD50 from their hilltop fortress, now known as Castle Hill. Lindum Colonia was a key Roman town that was on the Ermine Way. Ermine Way linked the important Roman cities of York and London. There are still some Roma...
Lincoln is famous for the ‘Da Vinci Code’ film. Ok, so whilst Dan Brown didn’t set his bestseller there, scenes set in Westminster Abbey were filmed in Lincoln Cathedral. Lincoln Cathedral has also been used for scenes of ‘The Young Victoria’ and Netflix’s ‘The King’. Whilst ‘Down Town Abbey’ makers used the courthouse in Lincoln Castle for some sc...
Lincoln is known for its cathedral. Lincoln Cathedral is a magnificent place of worship that was head of the largest diocese in England when consecrated in 1092. Since its first incarnation, the cathedral has prevailed over damage sustained from a fire, an earthquake and Roundheads (supporters of Oliver Cromwell). At one point in its illustrious ca...
Lincoln is best known for the Lincoln Imp. Legend has it that Satan sent a couple of imps out into the world to cause mischief. Whilst causing mayhem in Lincoln Cathedral, an angel appeared in the Angel Choir (a shrine for Saint Hugh, a former Bishop of Lincoln). Although the angel commanded the imps to stop, they did not; throwing stones and jibes...
Lincoln is famous for having an oldie worldie feel. With beautifully maintained medieval buildings and Steep Hill, it is like stepping back in time (or going down Diagon Alley!) Running downhill from the Cathedral Quarter, Steep Hill is not for the faint-hearted. It is the fourth steepest street in England. This cobbled street is full of charming b...
As you would expect from an arable county, there are a couple of local breweries. It would be remiss not to mention them, even though the breweries themselves are not based in the City of Lincoln. Particularly fine, according to the author, is Bateman’s XB. If you can find a hostelry that serves it, then I recommend a draft. An equally fine brew is...
Lincoln is known for hosting the ‘Asylum Steampunk Festival’ each summer. It is the longest-running (and largest) Steampunk festival in the world. Since 2009, this celebration for the Steampunk community has attracted visitors, exhibitors and spectators. With over 100,000 people visiting Lincoln each year for this three-day extravaganza, it has put...
One of the most famous tourist attractions in Lincoln is Lincoln Castle. The Normans built this on the site of the Roman fortress. They actually re-used some of the previous Roman walls. Lincoln Castle is unique for having two mottes and one large bailey keep; the usual design being just one motte with a bailey. Lincoln Castle is one of two such ca...
Like many old cities and towns, Lincoln is known for a few macabre instances… Lincoln Castle saw the first hanging by ‘long-drop’ in 1872. The ‘long-drop’ proved to be a more humane way of ending the life of someone condemned to hanging. William Marwood, a cobbler from the Lincolnshire town of Horncastle, developed the ‘long-drop’ method to reduce ...
Lincoln is famous for its Christmas Market which has been held since 1982. It was the first German-style Christmas market to be held in the UK. After visiting Lincoln’s twin town – Neustadt in Germany – Lincoln councillors introduced the German market concept with just 11 stalls in Castle Square. There are now over 200 stalls!
