The oldest parts of Lincoln Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, date to 1072, when Bishop Remigius de Fécamp moved his seat from Dorchester to Lincoln. The building was completed in 1092, but severely damaged in an earthquake in 1185. It was rebuilt over the following centuries in the Gothic style. The cathedral became the tallest building upon the completion of its 160-metre-high central spire in 1311 and held the title until the spire collapsed in 1548 and was not rebuilt.
