View of the exterior of Lincoln Cathedral taken from the cloisters.

View of Lincoln Cathedral from the west side during Lincoln's annual Christmas Market.

	This Green Man is located in the Morning Chapel (Chapel of St. Mary Magdelene).
	The general view shows the Green Man to the centre. The entrance door is to the right of this photo.

	As you approach the arch in the north aisle, the Green Man becomes apparent a profusion of vegetation sprouting from his mouth to form the arch decoration.
	This view gives an impression of the intricate carving to the arch. The Green Man is the illuminated section left.
	This Green Man can be found on the approach to the cloisters.
	Note his sad and downcast gaze and the contrasting oak leaves with those of the vine of the windows.
	This second Green Man is also in the approach to the cloisters.

	Cloisters Green Man.
	Quite close to the Green Man above is this feline example.
	Between the Canteloup Chantry and Russell Chantry can be found this Green Man.
	And in St. Hugh's Choir to the s. side back row, arm support.

The building of Lincoln Cathedral was begun in 1072. Over the centuries various calamities such as being destroyed by fire in 1141, an earthquake in 1185, the collapse of the central tower in 1237 and its spire blown down in 1548 means the building you see today has changed somewhat from its original design. Work continues to preserve the fabric of the building for the enjoyment of future generations.
