@louannwarren Thank you for you comment Lou Ann I know you like hear about the history of our old buildings:- In 60AD the Roman invaders built their legionary fortress on this site, In 1068 the Normans constructed their motte and bailey castle here, re-using the remaining stone walls of the later Roman city, Lindum Colonia. now called Lincoln:)
