A picture of Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral rises over the Buildings of the Bailgate area. Until 1971 this view would have been hidden. The bushes in the foreground are in a small garden which occupies the site of the former church of St Paul in the Bail which stood on the site of a church erected by Blecca, the Roman governor of the city, who was baptised by St. Paulinus. That original church fell down in 1302 and was rebuilt at the cost of the parishioners. It decayed again and was rebuilt in 1786 to be replaced by a Victorian church 1875, this later church was demolished in 1971. Excavations in 1972 on the site revealed the civic forum which occupied a central position in the Upper City and a Roman well which would have been positioned near the centre of the Roman military fortress and in a room of the east range of the subsequent civic forum.

A picture of Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral seen from Castle Square. The area in the foreground is now pedestrianised but I can remember when it was open to traffic. The tree, showing its autumn colours, stands to one side of the old road through the Exchequergate but has no respect to the space it was allocated having now grown out and over the roadway to fill nearly all the gap between the properties. The Exchequergate (the arches of which can be seen behind the tree) which dates from 1825 was one of the gateways into the then walled Cathedral close.
