      Lincoln Cathedral Exterior

      16. syyskuuta 2023, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      The sheer size of Lincoln Cathedral, one of the four biggest in the UK, seems to be the message. A message of medieval power, where Church and State merge, where God and King speak with one voice.

      Nothing about this cathedral is small, from its West frontage, its nave, its transepts, its vaulted ceiling, its internal chapels, its organ, its stained glass windows, its doors. Everything is huge. The very space under its roof is massive. Yet it does not feel impersonal or intimidating. Not today at least anyway.

      This cathedral was at one time, the tallest man-made structure on the planet. It originally had a spire on its central tower, but this was blown down in a storm in the 1500s. Until Lincoln Cathedral was built, the Great Pyrmaid in Egypt held the record. Lincoln then held it for over two hundred years.

      Here are some pics of its exterior.      Lue lisää

      Lincoln Cathedral Interior

      16. syyskuuta 2023, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      So what's it like inside?

      Light, airy, high, long. The eye travels to what one thinks is the nomral human length of a building, but then has to keep going, higher, further. It's quiet. People all around, not crowds, but people. Talking quietly, just above a whisper. Pointing to this or that, or reading some inscription.

      We took a tour today of the roof (inside). Up multiple winding spiral staircases and out onto timber landings inside the roof cavity above the vaulted ceilings. Lots of oak. Traditional tools used still.

      A slow meander around the floor of the cathedral. Stopping here and there to look at a tomb, at least one Queen buried there, and the mother of Henry VII, the first Tudor, so almost another Queen. A saint. Saint Hugh. WIlliam Byrd, the famous English Renaissance composer was chief musician here. A replica of the organ he played stands proudly in ornamental red.

      A look through the Chapter House, a decadonal building that at one time was used by Knights Templar and Hospitalers, held up by one majestic pillar in the centre. We went into the roof above it to see how they did it. A maze, our guide called it a spider's web, of oak beams in the most astonishing engineering to distribute the weight evenly and down.

      A wonderful and quite other wordly day.      Lue lisää

      Boston 1; The Heritage Trail

      18. helmikuuta 2023, Englanti ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

      Boston is a market town and inland port in Lincolnshire; it is situated on the River Witham and used to be the second largest port in the UK after London, but decline started when the flat countryside around the town, The Fens, started to be drained.

      We start our Heritage Trail walk at the station; close to this is Swan House - located on Trinity Street, the building has been converted into flats, but it was originally built for the processing of feathers for pillow cases.  We walk into town and pass the Municipal Buildings on West Street before crossing the Haven to the town centre, and the Market Place (the River Witham is known as The Haven on its route through Boston).  From here we cross to St Botolph's Church (aka The Stump); this is Boston's most notable landmark and the largest parish church in England - it has one of the tallest medieval towers in the country (over 266 feet) and this is visible from miles away across the surrounding flat countryside. 

      From here, we walk the length of Bargate and cross the Maud Foster Drain to see the Maud Foster Windmill, a seven-storey, five sail windmill; the tower mill and adjoining granary is a grade I listed building.  We double back into town to see the magnificent War Memorial before turning off to see Pescod Hall, originally built in 1450 and now in front of the Pescod Square Shopping Mall.  Then its back to the Market Place and along South Street towards the Cultural Quarter; here we see Shodfriars Hall, a substantial timber-framed building of three storeys, and in a road behind it is the Blackfriars Arts Centre, situated in a converted medieval friary.  Along South Street is The Guildhall, a former municipal building and now as a local museum, and next door to this is Fydell House, a Queen Anne house and open to the public for room hire, conferences and weddings.  We cross the John Adams Way to South End for the short walk past Boston Grammar School to see Hussey Tower, hidden away behind some new houses on the edge of the School playing fieds; this is a grade II listed historic tower, dating back to 1450, and the remains of a medieval brick-fortified house.  

      It has been a very interesting walk around Boston; there is more to see here than one thinks.      Lue lisää

      Lincoln unterm Lindenbaum

      16. heinäkuuta 2022, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Heute haben wir unser Übernachtungsplätzli sehr schnell und spontan gewählt! Was nur der Parkplatz für die Besichtigung von Lincoln Castle und Cathedrale gedacht war, entpuppt sich als idealer Platz (wir sind auch nicht die einzigen WoMos). Die 45‘ für den Zeitpocker (4 Pfund/Nacht) überbrücken wir ziemlich elegant… oder? 😇Lue lisää

      Lincoln; Urban Ramble, part 1

      24. tammikuuta 2020, Englanti ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      This urban rambles tales us to the beautiful medieval city of Lincoln. Next day was the occasion of my uncle's 80th birthday bash in nearby Woodhall Spa and we decided to make a weekend of it.

      After checking in at the hotel, we proceeded to Brayford Pool, a natural lake formed from a widening of the River Witham; the north side is very modern, but behind it on a hill is the magnificent cathedral. The south side of the pool is the home of the University of Lincoln.

      We walked west along the Foss Dyke, possibly the oldest canal in England, and then cut up north along the expanse of West Common which was the site of the old Lincoln horse racing track as well as being used to test aircraft in WW1.

      We walked to the top of the hill (Lincoln Edge) to see Ellis's Windmill, the last one that remains of five there originally. From here we went to visit The Strugglers Inn (a magnificent real ale pub), The Lawn (a Greek revival building), Lincoln Castle (built by William the Conqueror) and Lincoln Cathedral (nearly a thousand years old).

      We proceeded past the Bishops' Palace (closed at the time) and down to the Lincoln Arboreum, a Victorian park to the east of the cathedral; this was funded by property speculation for the large Victorian houses on the north edge of the park!

      We walked down to the River Witham, seeing the old Ruston & Hornby site, part of Lincoln's engineering heritage and now under the ownership of Siemens, before ending up at the High Street. The 16th century House on High Bridge is one of only three bridges in the UK with shops on them. We went underneath, down and through the Glory Hole passage, before finishing where we started. Another excellent walk - and still more to see in Lincoln....      Lue lisää
