Hugo von Lincoln (englisch Hugh of Lincoln; auch St Hugh of Lincoln oder Hugh of Avalon) (* unsicher: 1140 in Saint-Maximin (Isère); † 16. November 1200 in London) war ein Ordenspriester. In Burgund geboren, trat er in den Kartäuserorden ein und wurde 1186 Bischof der englischen Diözese Lincoln. Er wird in der römisch-katholischen und in der anglikanischen Kirche als Heiliger verehrt.
Er ist mit einem erhobenen Kelch dargestellt, denn nach einer Legende aus dem 13. Jh. entstieg bei der Elevation in der Messe das Jesuskind vor ihm aus dem Kelch.
Sein Attribut ist der Schwan, da ein Schwan bei ihm erschien, nachdem er im Beschofssitz von Lincoln eingezogen war. Der Schwan wurde immer zutraulicher und begab sich in Hugos Abwesenheit immer zu dessen Wohnsitz, um zu sehen, ob er wieder zurückgekehrt sei. War dieser zurück, so hielt der Schwan mit Flügelschlag und Schnabelhieb Besucher von ihm fern.

"Born near Grenoble (France) about 1140, St Hugh died in London on 16 November 1200. When he was twenty five, he entered the Grande Chartreuse, but in 1175 he was asked by King Henry II of England to become prior of a Carthusian house in England. A decade later he was appointed bishop of Lincoln, only accepting on the direct command of the prior of Grand Chartreuse. He spent the rest of his life in ceaseless work about his diocese, the largest in the country. He delegated much authority, and though a friend and critic of successive kings, he worked with his own hands on the extension of his cathedral. He gained a great reputation for justice, for the care of the sick, and for the support of the oppressed, including the Jewish community for whom he risked his life. He was declared a saint in 1220, the first Carthusian to be canonised."

St. Hugh of Lincoln was a popular saint in Medieval England, second only to Thomas Becket. Pilgrims traveled to Lincoln Cathedral to visit his shrine, which was despoiled during the Reformation.
Atop the figure's head is a light, which intermittently lights up to illuminate the Lincoln Imp directly above it. Only the body of the Imp is visible in this photo.

According to the Lincoln Cathedral website, "Situated in the ‘Angel Choir’ at the top of the pillar closest to the head shrine of St. Hugh you will find the Imp. Legend has it that he caused so much havoc that one of the angels turned him into stone. He is a reminder that even in a holy place evil may not be far away."

A. K. Nicholson Stained Glass Studios
Stained glass manufacturers. Archibald Keighley Nicholson (1867-1937) was the brother of Charles Nicholson (1867-1949), a pupil of J. D. Sedding and partner of Henry Wilson, and of Sydney Nicholson, founder of the Royal School of Church Music. A. K. Nicholson also worked with Henry Wilson, but in the late 1890s set up his own stained glass studio in London. He was embedded in the Arts & Crafts traditions, and kept close personal control over all the work which left his studio. The studio continued to operate in his name right into the 1960s, run by his former chief designer G.E.R. Smith, who joined Nicholson in 1906 and succeeded him on his death in 1937. Over his lifetime, A K Nicholson produced over 700 windows.

Queen Eleanor of Castile
Famously died in 1290 at Harby, close to Lincoln, and her body then made the long journey to Westminster Abbey; en route the stopping places for the funeral cortege were marked by the famous 'Eleanor Crosses', of which there were originally thirteen, but sadly only three survive today.
Her heart was buried in Lincoln Cathedral and marked by a monument of similar splendour to her tomb at Westminster, but Cromwell's mob completely destroyed it in the Civil War.
Based on early 17th century engravings of the original prior to destruction, a new monument was erected in it's place in the Victorian period crowned by a cast of her bronze effigy at Westminster.
