More Bits of Lincoln

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.
