The Architecture of Lincoln Cathedral

Rachael Wragg is talking about the architecture of Lincoln Cathedral at Ermine Library and Community Hub on Friday 13 November. She's a working stone mason, better known as 'The Ginger Mason', and she'll be drawing on her own craft to walk the audience through the cathedral's architecture and stone masonry.

It's a bit of a different angle on a building most of us see every day. Rather than a general history, she'll be talking about the actual making of the place—the stone, the carving, and the way it's put together—from the perspective of someone who does the work herself. The session runs for an hour and opens with a question and answer part, so if you've got something specific you've always wondered about the cathedral's walls or windows, that's your chance to ask it before the main talk gets going.

There's a local side to it too: the evening doubles as a fundraiser for the Friends Of Ermine Library, so the ticket goes toward supporting the library, and refreshments are provided on the night. It's a good excuse to spend an hour looking at the cathedral with a bit more detail than you'd get just walking past it.

The talk is on Friday 13 November from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, with doors open from 5:30pm, at Ermine Library and Community Hub, 19 Ravendale Drive, Lincoln LN2 2BT. Tickets are £5.94 via Eventbrite.
