Lincoln Cathedral is through to the final 32 of the #realcathedralworldcup! It really is magnificent and well worth a vote...! :)https://twitter.com/kyle_a_thomas/status/1012050032105869313 …

The entrance to the 15th-century prison cell at Lincoln Cathedral in 1773; it was located under the Northwest tower: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/topdrawings/l/005add000015541u00079000.html …pic.twitter.com/D5fzI7fNvJ

If it doesn't win insist on VAR. :)

Lol! It won't win, ultimately, I don't think — even if it gets through this round, I can't see Hagia Sophia not triumphing in the end, but I do nonetheless think it's a gorgeous building and stunningly located! Plus there's evidence for a bishop here back into the 4th century...!
-
Wow!! With you as Ambassador though who knows.......
-
Hah! Thanks :)

Just got this 'sent' post card of Lincoln Cathedral, West front, dated August 1906. Interesting to see it minus the tall spires and the building in front of the cathedral one story lower.

Oh, interesting point, well spotted!

Hagia Sophia is my favourite building though. I have spent hours and hours in there. But all of those buildings are miracles when you think of the time they were built.
-
I suspect that will win in the end, but yes, absolutely!

wow! I had always assumed (wrongly) the tallest had been Old St Pauls!

Intriguing, isn't it!

Am loving all this. Desperate to visit one day. Are there any images showing how it looked with the central spire intact?
-
There are reconstructions but no contemporary images, alas — must have been a sight, though, as it dominates the landscape even in its current shorter form...!

Rebuild the spires!!
-
Yes! (though the towers might not cope, I suspect!)
-
Strengthen the towers!!
