Lincoln Cathedral is in England's East Midlands, located at Minster Yard, Lincoln LN2 1PX, UK. Construction started in 1072 and continued in many phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style. The central spire collapsed in 1548 and was not rebuilt. Had the spire remained intact, Lincoln Cathedral would have remained the world's tallest structure until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in 1889. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, which are now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. Lincoln Cathedral is known for its many architectural triumphs; some of which are uncommon in medieval architecture in England.
