Lincoln is old. In January 1265, when Simon De Montfort’s first parliament met at Westminster, some knight or burgess whose name has been lost to time sat for its people. In the early 14th century when such things were first recorded for posterity, one Hugh Skarlet was named as Lincoln’s MP. In 1529, they sent William Sammes to the Reformation Parliament to wave through Henry’s break with Rome. In the 1860s they sent the radical liberal Charles Seely to argue for manhood suffrage.
