Medieval History
Work to begin repairing and restoring a set of medieval stained glass windows at Lincoln Cathedral will begin next summer.
The cathedral's works department is planning a £400,000 restoration of all four lancets underneath the Bishop's Eye Window, in the South Transept.
As reported in the Echo, a 13th-century medallion depicting Moses in a Biblical scene in one of the panels, was smashed into pieces two years ago as a would-be thief fled.
A modern copy was installed after the incident and the original will eventually be put back in.
