Statues - Hither & Thither

 

Description

In the west facade of Lincoln Cathedral are several panels of a Romanesque frieze, which are probably fragments of a larger frieze, dating from c. 1123-1148.
Frieze panels 1 to 4 are replicas from the mid 1990s to 2001 made by John Roberts. The originals have been on display in the Cathedral since 2008. From most of the other panels are replicas made also, but these are on display in the cathedral, while the restored originals are still in place.
The statues on the west facade have their own page.
