Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, LINCOLN, Lincolnshire

One of the greatest of all cathedrals, Lincoln was commenced in 1072 but almost totally destroyed in the earthquake of 1185. Only the base of the West Front remains. The new cathedral was begun in 1192 and esentially completed by 1400. Amongst its best features is the Angel Choir.
