Where has that civic year gone??!! Removal of the early 18th century table in the chamber of the City of Lincoln Council took place yesterday in readiness for the ancient annual Mayor Making ceremony on the 19th May. Lincoln has had a Mayor since at least 1206 AD, but the title probably existed before then. Living history in action. 😊
