Lincoln Cathedral

Nine years ago this summer my wife and I went to Lincoln, England on a weekend during our ten day London honeymoon. We rented a car for a weekend trip to Lincoln and York. We were so impressed with Lincoln we cancelled our York reservations and stayed in Lincoln an extra night. We were the only Americans in town; even the tourists there were English. The town is dominated by a hill, which is dominated by a beautiful cathedral and a Roman Fortress/William the Conquerer Castle that was later converted into a Victorian Prison.

This story leads me to believe that Lincoln's era of obscurity is about to come to an end. Lincoln is most likely destined to be swamped with tourists soon. Too bad; particularly in service to a movie made from a mediocre novel.
