Lincoln Cathedral: The Cathedral That Once Touched the Sky

For nearly a thousand years, Lincoln Cathedral has dominated the skyline of Lincolnshire. Built after the Norman Conquest, shattered by earthquake, rebuilt in breath-taking Gothic splendour, and once the tallest building on Earth, its story is one of ambition, faith, disaster, and survival. In this video, we explore the complete history of Lincoln Cathedral, from its beginnings under William the Conqueror to the rise of its legendary spire that surpassed even the Great Pyramid of Giza. Discover the story of St Hugh of Lincoln, the magnificent Angel Choir, the devastating earthquake of 1185, and the storm that brought down the world's tallest church spire.
