I realized looking through my pictures that there's still some parts of Lincoln I'd like to share.
When we first arrived, we looked for a tea shop to get some refreshment. We found
Dennetts Ice Cream Parlour that had a tea room downstairs. The downstairs was quite traditional, by that I mean it felt quite medieval. The cellar dates back to the 14th century!
|
It was chilly (we were the first customers) but the food was great |
|
Door without stairs! |
The town gate leading from the ice cream shoppe to the cathedral was quite impressive.
|
One out of three looking at the camera ain't bad |
The building on the right in the picture above is the church of Mary Magdalen. Though a small church, the people inside were quite welcoming. We admired their nativity scene and Jacob got to see their bell ropes. Lucy was given a piece of candy (Jacob politely refused). They even have a historic sign over the street sign.
|
Awesome name for a road, though it would be terrible to get in a spelling bee |
Down the hill from the Cathedral is a narrow street that leads past a school with a pretty awesome motto over its door.
|
Disce aut discede--learn or get out! |
Lincoln had a large Jewish population in the middle ages and one of the 12th century buildings is called
Jews House.
|
It's a restaurant now! |
This house is on a road called Steep Hill because it is in fact a steep hill. We walked up the hill, though we did need a rest when we made it to the top.
|
Mommy and Lucy look down the hill they just climbed. |
|
Jacob's choice of resting spot is great! |
The book store wasn't open, which is another reason that we'll probably head back to Lincoln some day.
