Lincoln Castle
Lincoln Castle Review
Facing the cathedral across Exchequer Gate, this castle was built on two great mounds by William the Conqueror in 1068, incorporating part of the remains of Roman garrison walls. The castle was a military base until the 17th century, after which it operated as a prison. In the extraordinary prison chapel you can see the cagelike stalls in which Victorian convicts listened to sermons. One of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta, signed by King John in 1215, is on display inside here.
