Aaron the Jew's House
Image: © Richard Croft Taken: 13 Jan 2006
Now called 'Norman House' this is one of the oldest buildings in Lincoln. It used to be called "Aaron the Jew's House" as it was popularly thought to be the home of the rich Aaron the Jew who certainly lived in 12th century Lincoln and died in 1186. This wonderful grade I listed building is pre-1186 so the story isn't so unlikely !
