The historic gothic style Lincoln cathedral, one of the oldest churches in England, was built between 1072 to 1092. For centuries, the city’s prosperity was based on wool and like other medieval towns in the country, it is famous for its craftsmen ship, such as: carpenters, blacksmiths, potters, shoemakers, butchers and bakers. It is a beautiful city, rich in history. It also has a strong student feeling because it is the base of University of Lincoln.
