Please join us on a #walkingtour of Lincoln Castle built on a Fortress hilltop by William the Conqueror. The Castle bears scares of the bloody battles fought by opposing forces who sought control of this strategically important stronghold. Executions by hanging also took place here between 1817 & 1859.
During this time the Castle had many Royal Visitors including King Henry 2nd in the late 12th Century. King John spent several days in Lincoln in September 1216 before he lost his jewels & baggage in the wash within 2 weeks of his visit he died of dysentery. King Henry 8th & Catherine Howard rode to the Castle in August 1541.
The Charter sent to Lincoln in 1215 was read at the Sheriff's Court in Lincoln Castle before being placed in the Cathedral treasury for safe keeping. Lincoln has retained the #magnacarta ever since & is only 1 of only 4 surviving originals.
We shall take a #tour of the towers & see the amazing carvings in the stone.
