Ownership of historic artefacts found outside of Lincoln is set to be transferred from the city council to Lincolnshire County Council.

The transfer of the legal title to the collection, which includes Roman, Saxon and Bronze-Age artefacts, is part of an agreement reached in 2021 regarding the operation of the city's Usher Gallery.

The large collection of art owned by the city council is excluded from the agreement.

Cllr Naomi Tweddle, portfolio holder for Inclusive Economic Growth at City of Lincoln Council, said: ‘Heritage and culture are significant drivers of tourism, which itself is a vital element of the local economy.

‘This transfer of objects supports our overarching agreement with Lincolnshire County Council on the delivery of museum and gallery services within the city.’

Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive member for culture at Lincolnshire County Council, added: ‘The transfer of these artefacts is a further positive step, securing their future as permanent parts of the collection at Lincoln Museum and the Usher Gallery. It will support us in continuing to encourage local residents and visitors to discover the rich history of our city and county.

‘It is through our close working relationship that the city and county councils can best support the visitor economy and keep residents connected to their culture and heritage.’
