A very short distance from the east end of Lincoln Cathedral stands Priory Gate, which marks the location of one of the old medieval gates that gave access to the cathedral close. The current gateway, surmounted with battlements as if it still served a defensive purpose, straddles the north end of Pottergate.
It is a Victorian structure replacement for the medieval gates on this site. A similar gateway arch stands at the south end of Pottergate, and Exchequer Gate, a true medieval survivor, stands near the cathedral west front
it is a beautiful medieval gate Cherie… but anyone could just walk around it

Around it and through it
Lincoln seems to be well endowed with ancient gates, Cherie
It is, and there are fine ones that I forgot to photograph even though I walked past one of them every day whilst I was there!!
It has the look of a movie prop, Cherry, doesn’t it!
LOL Yes it does
With Peter here on this one.
What an interesting structure…marking the old from the new….
It is a curiosity
