'There in the calamus he stands
With frog webbed feet & bat winged hands

Above the gleam of owlet eyes
A death head's cap of downy dyes
Nods out at me & beckons me...' (Madison Cawein/C19th engraving, artist unknown)

For a quarter of a millennium, from the early C14th to the mid-C16th when its vast spire collapsed in a storm, Lincoln Cathedral was apparently the tallest building in the world, a record taken from the Great Pyramid of Giza. If the spire had survived, it would have held the record until the C19th.
