Not often you see something about Lincoln on here! The building is absolutely stunning and its my favorite thing about living in the city

View on HN

I feel an urge to link to my own Lincolnshire town's church, too, because it has the third highest spire in England. A significant feat for such a small town's church: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James%27_Church,_Louth

There is, of course, the "stump" at Boston too which inspired one of Yale's towers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Botolph%27s_Church,_Boston

I’m from Grimsby and I stumbled upon your newsletters a few years ago when learning to code and was shocked when I noticed that they were made by someone in Louth! And now I’ve stumbled upon the man behind the emails on HN!

St Wulfram's in Grantham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Wulfram%27s_Church,_Grantha...) is just a little shorter than St James, and still has its original chained library (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Trigge_Chained_Library), which has been claimed to be the oldest public library in the UK!

This is a wonderful, wonderful book, and the Louth church is of course in it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fifty-English-Steeples-Medieval-Eng...

I've visited Lincolnshire a few times and I found it a really beautiful and underrated region. Vast countryside, lovely towns.

Agree, from a fellow Lincolnite!

Who knew there are so many people from Lincoln here :)

Wow there are tens of us!

Maybe we could be the Silicon Valley of the East Midlands.

From Lincoln, but not living there anymore.

i'm another one

I'm from Lincoln too - we should organise a meetup!
