Vicars Court, Medieval residential complex in Lincoln, England.
Vicars Court consists of four irregular two-story ranges with dressed stone walls and pantile roofs arranged around a sloping central courtyard.
Construction of the lodgings began in the late 13th century under Bishop Sutton's direction, with initial completion recorded in 1309.
The complex served as residences for priests who performed services in Lincoln Cathedral when the Prebendaries were absent from their duties.
The building contains multiple preserved garderobes on the ground floor and features a medieval ceiling with transverse chamfered beams on double corbels.
Tree-ring analysis of oak timbers from the roof at 3-3A Vicars Court indicates construction between 1289 and 1334, confirming its medieval origins.
