IMAGES OF MEDIEVAL ART AND ARCHITECTURE

ENGLAND: LINCOLN MINSTER

Exterior Sculpture: Romanesque Frieze on the West Facade

The panels of the Romanesque frieze are probably fragments of a larger frieze- there were presumably other panels which were removed when the Gallery of Kings and Gothic windows were added. Many of the panels have been damaged and restored.
