Assize Courts, Grade II* listed courthouse in Lincoln, England
The Lincoln Assize Courts, located within Lincoln Castle, features ashlar stonework construction, slate roofs, and four coped side wall stacks at its exterior.
Designed by architect Sir Robert Smirke in 1823, the Lincoln Assize Courts served as a primary location for criminal trials within the English legal system.
The Lincoln Assize Courts exemplifies the evolution of legal architecture, where courtrooms transformed from communal halls to specialized judicial spaces in the 18th century.
The courthouse remains active within Lincoln Castle, with access varying according to ongoing legal proceedings and scheduled administrative functions throughout the year.
The structure combines a Crenellated Gothick architectural style with neoclassical elements, reflecting the transitional period of early 19th-century English institutional buildings.
