Object - Tapestry, England and See of LincolnAdminstrative area overseen by the Bishop
A tapestry on the wall above the entrance to the room currently used to display items from the Treasury, on the north wall of the North Choir Aisle.
Location - North Choir Aisle
This seems to be a better lit corridor than its counterpart on the south side, it also tends to a bit busier as it is the natural route between the Nave, St. Hugh's Choir and the Cloister Court (for the library and the cafe).
Owner - See of LINCOLN
A 'See' is an administrative area overseen by a Bishop. The See has its own arms, distinct from any personally held by the Bishop at the time.
Lincoln, See of. Gu. two lions pass, guard, or, on a chief az. the Holy Virgin and Child sitting crowned and bearing a sceptre of the second.[1]
