Another surviving 12thC building in Lincoln is the Jew's House, built c. 1170 with a first floor hall (my pic)pic.twitter.com/y51TAshyCH
Once owned by Belaset, daughter of Solomon of Wallingford in 13thC; she was hanged in 1290.. http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=326716&sort=4&search=all&criteria=bow%20stone&rational=q&recordsperpage=10&p=4&move=n&nor=71&recfc=0 …pic.twitter.com/S818OUks8b
Wow, hanged for coin clipping! Coins were serious business...
So it would seem... or seen as a useful excuse? :-/
And given the historical tendency to link Jews with dishonest financial dealings, it's suspect, at best.
Indeed :(
And I love the door within the door, complete with it's own little arched top. What wonderful things you post!
Glad you like, and thank you! :)
The small structure to the right of the main door in the 1784 image seems to align with what's now a window. A covered entry?
Oh, interesting---I'll have to check the report and get back to you! :)
Impressive. Must be one of oldest surviving guildhalls?
