Lincoln’s Norman cathedral is consecrated
The cathedral begun at Lincoln by Remigius, the first Norman bishop of the diocese, was consecrated two days after its founder had died. Remigius had moved his see from Dorchester-on-Thames to the hilltop beside the new castle in the 1070s. Much of the building was later damaged by fire and an earthquake and rebuilt in Gothic style, and for centuries its spire made it the tallest building in the world.
