A short history of Lincoln
Archaeologists found an Iron Age settlement of circular timber houses beside Brayford Pool on the River Witham, dated to the 1st century BCE. The Romans conquered the area in 48 CE and built a legionary fortress on the hill. When the legion left for York in 71 CE the site became a colonia for army veterans called Lindum Colonia. Germanic settlers arrived in the 5th and 6th centuries and the name became Lincylene. Lincoln joined the Five East Midland Boroughs after the Danelaw was established in 886. William I ordered the castle built in 1068. King Stephen was defeated and captured in street fighting in 1141. By 1150 the city was among the wealthiest in England through wool and cloth. Its Jewish community was expelled in 1290. Of 54 listed buildings nearby, four are Grade I: All Saints, St Peter at Gowts, St Mary le Wigford and St Mary's Guildhall.
