Architecture

Group Leader: Luke Pickering

Objectives of the Group

We are a large and friendly Group, who are interested in the buildings and settlements of the local area. We arrange talks in the winter months and trips to towns, villages and individual buildings once the weather gets warmer. We have a varied programme which includes the ancient and modern, usually with knowledgeable local guides. Our tours often finish in the local pub or teashop!

We meet on the third Thursday of the month, generally at 10.30am. Some of our visits do have limited numbers and we have Booking Forms at the General Meetings where you can put your name down. If you have any questions, please phone Luke on 07774 251197.

See below for photos taken at some of our events, and reports are accessible.

WALKING TOUR OF UPHILL LINCOLN

THURSDAY 18 SEPTEMBER 2025 AND THURSDAY 16 OCTOBER 2025

10.15AM FOR 10.30AM

We will meet at the Lincoln Hotel on Eastgate, Lincoln, ready for a 10.30am start.

Fellow Lindsey u3a member, Penny Forsdyke, will guide us through Uphill Lincoln on a tour which she has given the fascinating name of “Murder and Mayhem”. One wonders what to expect!!

The walk will last an hour to an hour and a half. Numbers are restricted to a maximum of 15 members. Lincoln tours are always very popular with the Architecture Group. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, Penny has kindly agreed to repeat September’s “Murder and Mayhem” for the Architecture Group’s October meeting. There is no charge for the tour.

With such a variety of cafes and tea shops in the area, members will have no trouble in seeking refreshment after the walk.

Both tours are now fully booked. However, names are still being taken on the Reserve list, in case of any cancellations.
