Our Volunteers had a great training day at the @LincsArchives yesterday, with a fantastic workshop on research skills led by Susan Payne. They even went behind the scenes to see documents from the 16th century up to the present day all relating to the Greyfriars building!

You have all read the articles about the Planning application that has been submitted for Greyfriars & we thought we would share the plans that we have put forward as part of our partnership working with City of Lincoln Council to bring this incredible building back to life!

We have worked closely with our project team & Historic England to create designs for an accessible & flexible space that maximises its potential use whilst showcasing the beauty of this grade 1 listed, scheduled monument. Made possible by funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund The Architectural Heritage Fund

The first part of our plans for Greyfriars, is reinstating an older doorway to the building from street level in a new ‘green corridor’ Why? Provides a highly visible entrance. It will made of a transparent material to improve general access & inclusion It will look pretty!

Join us on Friday evening this week on the anniversary of the 1217 Battle of Lincoln to find out more about one of the most pivotal battles in English history! This will be a fascinating talk being delivered by Erik Grigg of @BGULincoln Book in online at heritagelincolnshire.org/shop/all/ticke…

Volunteers photographed & documented over 724 different examples of historic graffiti on both floors of the building. This is a wall-carved game board. On the left is a small ‘merels’ board, a 3-Mens-Morris. On the nearside is an eroding gameboard graffiti known as Fox & Geese!

Today is the first day of Volunteers' Week an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make through volunteering. We are so lucky that we have amazing volunteers & we will be shouting about the work our volunteers do here at Greyfriars & how you can get involved!

We are so lucky that we have volunteers who play an active role in our building restoration work, undertaking detailed research, playing ‘house detectives’ & uncovering hidden histories here at our Greyfriars, Lincoln site! Thank you! #VolunteersWeek

As we come to the end of our first phase of the project, we welcomed the Spirit of Sutterby group for a walking talk with Mark Gardiner, Building Archaeologist & part of the project team. He talked us through how to decipher architecture in evidence & the medieval phases.

We have had some photos sent in from the first archaeological trench at Greyfriars, from one of our participants Janet, which we would like to share with you all! More will come soon from what the APS team & volunteers have found! Photo Credit; Janet Stocker Writer
