Lincoln Cathedral

Lincoln Cathedral, completed in the late 14th century, is among the most important examples of Gothic architecture. The Angel Choir, seen here, dates from between 1256 and 1280 and is in the Decorated Style, a medieval English style that paid particular attention to ornately patterned windows. The traceried window of the east front, visible beyond, is the focal point of the interior.
