Lincoln Cathedral
has stood as a symbol of faith, craftsmanship and human endeavour for over 950 years. A living place of worship and the seat of the Bishop of Lincoln, the Cathedral remains a place of pilgrimage, prayer and welcome for people of all faiths and none.

As one of the nation's most important heritage sites and a major visitor destination, the Cathedral welcomes hundreds of thousands of people each year. Stewardship of this remarkable estate (which includes the Cathedral Church, Visitor Centre and more than 80 historic buildings) requires exceptional operational oversight to ensure buildings remain safe, compliant and welcoming every day.
