| The tall house on the extreme left of the picture
is standing to-day. It was the property of the Society
of Friends until 1800, when it was sold, with the
adjoining Burial Ground, now a garden, the proceeds
going towards the re-building of the Meeting House
at Mansfield. The house is considered by some to have
been the home of Elizabeth Hooton. It is probably of
seventeenth century construction. | |

| Lincoln Castle Gateway | [78] |
| Original drawing by Ethel Barringer. | |
| This, with some fragments of the old wall, and a
small, strongly-built structure, supposed to have been a
dungeon and known as Cobb’s Hall, is all that remains of
the old Castle. The area of the fortress is now occupied
by the County Hall and a building now disused, which
was the County Gaol. | |
