Lincoln’s Hidden Spaces

We hope you enjoy these videos, which explore some of Lincoln’s more hidden spaces. We are grateful to our librarian, Ms Lucy Matheson, for taking us on a tour of the Library Tower, Dr Alison Ray for delving into the history of the Mitre vaults and Dr Louise Durning for uncovering the gorgeous 18th Century wall paintings around College.
