A Description and Defense of the Restorations of the Exterior of Lincoln Cathedral is a book written by John Chessell Buckler in 1866. The book provides a detailed account of the restoration work that was carried out on the exterior of Lincoln Cathedral during the mid-19th century. Buckler describes the various stages of restoration, including the cleaning of the stonework, the replacement of damaged or missing elements, and the reconstruction of the spires. The author also provides a defense of the restoration work, which had been criticized by some for being too extensive and altering the original character of the building. Buckler argues that the restoration was necessary to preserve the cathedral for future generations and that the work was carried out with great care and attention to detail. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, which help to illustrate the changes that were made to the cathedral during the restoration process. It also includes a history of the cathedral and its architecture, providing context for the restoration work that was carried out. Overall, A Description and Defense of the Restorations of the Exterior of Lincoln Cathedral is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Lincoln Cathedral and the restoration work that was carried out on this iconic building.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
