Lincoln Cathedral’s cafe was broken into overnight and it is now temporarily closed while the damage is assessed.
Lincolnshire Police said they were called to the Cathedral at around 6am on Wednesday, December 7 after the burglary at the iconic building’s cafe.
They were contacted after workers arrived to find the tills at the site were missing. A till was later found opened in the Cathedral’s cafe area, police said.
A spokesperson for Lincoln Cathedral told The Lincolnite: “We’re currently focusing on getting the cafe back open as soon as we can. Fortunately the damage was minimal.
“The main target of the break in appears to have been the till, however no money is left in the cafe overnight.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
