The close at Lincoln was walled round in Edward II.'s reign, as evil-doers resorted thither and made attendances at night services dangerous, and to the same period is assigned a like protection of the close at Salisbury. Edward I.'s patents authorizing these walls of 1344 are both printed in the "Registrum Roffense."
Nicholas, which may possibly have stood here during the short time between the completion of the north transept and that of the new work at the east end of the nave, for a document published in the "Registrum Roffense" tells us that, after a dispute about a removal, the position before the pulpitum was assigned to it in 1322.
The chief authority for the restoration seems to have been an engraving in the 1788 edition of the "Custumale Roffense." The gable stands back a little and has its base hidden by a parapet rising above a decorated string course.
Two other bells came to the cathedral in the twelfth century, and were probably placed here at once as they are mentioned in the "Custumale Roffense," written about 1300, as then hanging in the "greater tower," a name by which this is distinguished from the long destroyed south one.
Thorpe that forms the frontispiece to his "Registrum Roffense," agrees with it well when we take into consideration the smallness of its scale. The tower was square, without either battlements or corner pinnacles, and the spire rose directly from it.
