Talking about Lincoln Cathedral, the show's host, Dallas Campbell said: "I think it’s really funny when you think of Lincoln Cathedral, when you think of the world’s tallest, you think of America, the Far East and now the Middle East. But certainly not Britain.
"We’re good at bungalows but in the Middle Ages with reformation, suddenly cathedrals started popping up.
"The tallest buildings were then always associated with being closer to God, so churches were always the highest."
A school creative art project on YouTube shows the evolution of Lincoln Cathedral.
