Romans. Camden refers to it as likely to have been a
place of importance even in the time of the Britons.
The see, which was originally founded at Dorchester
in 636, was finally established at Lincoln in 1088, about
which time the first cathedral was erected. The present
splendid edifice dates from the 12th century. It is the
earliest example (and one of the finest) of the Early
English style, and has an imposing situation on the
summit of a hill, on the slopes of which the city has
been built. In the central tower is the famous bell
known as “Great Tom of Lincoln,” which weighs
5 tons 8 cwt., and at the mouth is 6 ft. 104 in. in
diameter. Lincoln received a charter of incorporation
from Richard II. Large industries are shown in mfrs.
of farm implements, portable steam-engines, &c. Iron-
works and steam flour-mills are in operation, while
brewing and a trade in corn and wool are actively con-
ducted. Besides its convenience for railway traffic, the
city has excellent waterways to the coast. Lincoln
returns 1 member to Parliament ; it returned 2 mem-
bers until 1885, when the parliamentary limits were
extended so as to include the par. of Bracebridge.—2.
