Entrance to the 15thC prison cell at Lincoln Cathedral in 1773, located under the NW tower http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/topdrawings/l/005add000015541u00079000.html …pic.twitter.com/PjwDh1rl2q
Prison cell was under the cathedral bells & must have been most unpleasant! Picture shows Sir Joseph Banks visiting the cell in the L18thC.
How long do you suppose the average prisoner lasted before having to be transferred to Bedlam?
Not long I suspect! Most refs to use in 16thC... had less worries back then, perhaps?!

@caitlinrgreen for coin-clipping. Wonder if that was a trumped-up charge...
@llewelyn_morgan Given the context of the time, suspect so, though impossible to be certain...
@caitlinrgreen @llewelyn_morgan agree. Coin clipping was common and more likely than blood libels, but ... :-(
wasn't there a big one at Prittlewell too? What were they for?
Much debated, but I favour them being originally high-status pieces of British tableware :)
note to self Must visit again Lincoln!
Yes! :)
