Lincolnshire⁽⁶⁾

Lincolnshire boasts a rich history, from Roman settlements and Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to its role as an important borough within in the Danelaw. Before it became known as Lincolnshire, it was known as the Kingdom of Lindsey, formed by the Angles until it was absorbed into Northumbria in the 7th century. Today, the highlight of this historic county is its county town, Lincoln, with its stunning cathedral and medieval castle, which is home to an original 1215 Magna Carta.
