Status Quo
Ian Fortnam, Classic Rock, Summer 2003
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR was responsible for the construction of Lincoln Castle in 1068. In Victorian times it housed a prison, but now acts as a museum. Its an apparently immortal and steadfast monument to British history, where the curious come to marvel at a resolute reminder of a once glorious past.
