Lincoln Cathedral

[ 149 print pages,
30 b&w photographs, 10 engravings, 7 plans and elevations ]

In 1898, Albert F. Kendrick, noting a need to collect in a single work all the scattered material that existed on the history of the see and the architecture of the church, published The Cathedral Church of Lincoln: with minor revisions to the text and with the best possible photographs for the time, it was reprinted many times in Bell's Cathedral Series.

[ 96 print pages, 15 engravings, 1 plan ]

The minster and the see also found detailed treatment (and meticulous if somewhat cold engravings) in Vol. 3, the Eastern Division of King's Handbook to the Cathedrals of England.

[ 6/8/03: 7 pages, about 25 photos (in progress) ]

In The Griffins' photographic tour, we won't cover as much ground, but you'll get 21c color photos rather than 20c b&w or 19c engravings — and in case you're feeling studious, each photo is still linked back to the appropriate section of the books.

The Griffin used as an icon here is lifted from their photo of the 11c baptismal font in the cathedral, of course.

Now these three sites are rather complementary as to the information they contain, and the stock of images in each is certainly quite different; so although they're separate, wherever you find one of these little buttons in the text: you can click on it to take you to the corresponding part of one of the others.
