About

Glebe ward lies in the northwest of Lincoln city centre, encompassing a significant portion of the historic uphill area around the cathedral and castle. This is the administrative and historic heart of the city, characterised by steep streets like Steep Hill and structures dating back centuries. The ward's boundaries include the extensive grounds of the cathedral close and the University of Lincoln's Brayford Pool campus to the south.

The area is dominated by the Lincoln Cathedral, a medieval landmark visible for miles, and Lincoln Castle, which houses one of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta. The Usher Gallery and The Collection museum are key cultural institutions here. The ward's topography sharply descends towards the River Witham and the more modern commercial developments of the city centre below.
