Lincoln at the start of the 21st century is dominated by the motor car. But beneath this everyday scene, lies evidence of one of England’s oldest and most important centres of power. In this DVD we turn back the clock to look at some of the many historic sites, notable buildings, and significant events in the history of Lincoln, including:
- Colonia Lindensium;
- water supply, invasions, and conquest;
- Lincoln Cathedral (including shots of the chapter house featured in The Da Vinci Code*);
- the Medieval Bishops’ Palace;
- Priory Gate and Alfred Lord Tennyson’s statue;
- the Exchequer Gate, Leigh-Pemberton House, and a Victorian post box;
- the Jew’s House, the Stonebow, and High Bridge;
- Lincoln Castle; and
- Ellis Windmill (including a guided tour).
With evidence of the Romans, Saxons, Normans, Elizabethans, Tudors, Georgians, and Victorians, Lincoln is a living history lesson.
