Description: | A view in ink of the entrance to the prison chamber, under the north-west tower of Lincoln Cathedral. The cell dates from the 15th century, when Lincoln was divided into four independent jurisdictions - the Castle and Bail, the Beaumont Fee, the City, and the Cathedral. In later centuries, some prisoners were held here prior to making a public atonement in porch of the cathedral's Galillee chapel. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
