St Mary's Guildhall, Medieval guildhall in Cathedral Quarter, Lincoln, England
St Mary's Guildhall is a medieval stone structure positioned along Lincoln High Street, featuring substantial original walls, grand arched doorways, and characteristic medieval window designs. The building extends across multiple sections that reveal construction techniques and architectural elements from different eras.
The building was constructed around 1157 as a royal residence for King Henry II and later served as the headquarters for St Mary's Guild. Its role changed in 1547, marking a shift in how the structure was used.
The building preserves sections of the Roman Foss Way road from the 3rd century, visible through glass flooring panels in the Western Range.
This place is managed by the Lincoln Civic Trust and visits need to be arranged in advance. It is helpful to contact them beforehand since access depends on available tours and opening times can be limited.
The area behind the building served as the first home ground for Lincoln City Football Club from 1884 to 1895. This connection to local sports history often goes unnoticed by visitors.
