Written by the Rev. J. H. Srawley, Canon and Chancellor of Lincoln and Precentor of Stow-on-Wold, this meticulously researched volume chronicles the cathedral's origins, its architectural evolution, and the ecclesiastical dramas that shaped its identity across the centuries. From the Norman foundations laid by Bishop Remigius in the eleventh century to the soaring medieval nave that once made it the tallest building in the world, Srawley details each chapter of the Minster's story with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a devoted churchman.\n\nGraced with a foreword by the Dean of Lincoln, this third and revised edition carries the weight of accumulated knowledge and institutional memory, making it an indispensable reference for historians, architects, and pilgrims alike. Srawley's prose is measured and authoritative, guiding the reader through centuries of faith, patronage, and craftsmanship with unfailing clarity. Published by Raphael Tuck \u0026amp; Sons Ltd. in 1947, the volume arrives in the aftermath of World War II — a moment when the preservation of England's sacred heritage felt both urgent and profoundly meaningful. For anyone captivated by the intersection of faith, history, and stone, this is a rare and rewarding testament to one of Britain's most beloved monuments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161045278939,"sku":"2026200011304-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1f602ca5-3df5-4206-845f-f793e2068859.png?v=1787189605","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011304-secondhand-the-story-of-lincoln-minster","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
