The Old Deanery, Lincoln
The Old Deanery, Lincoln was the official residence of the Dean of Lincoln. It was a spacious building set around a courtyard. The Deanery is thought to have been started in 1254 by Richard de Gravesend, who became Dean in that year and Bishop of Lincoln four years later. The hall stood on the north side of the court. The great kitchen, the buttery and other offices stood in the same range of buildings. They were extensively damaged during the English Civil War and rebuilt after 1660. The southern entrance tower or Flemyng tower was built by Dr Robert Flemyng and his arms were on both the north and south fronts of the tower. The Deanery was pulled down in 1847 and replaced by the present building by William Burn. This was to become the Cathedral School and later the Minster School. In 2017 plans to convert the building into a visitor and education centre for Lincoln Cathedral were announced.
