 Repair costs have reached about �5,000 to date |
Staff at Lincoln Cathedral say vandals who are conducting a concerted campaign against the building have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. A spate of attacks has included racist graffiti, broken windows and excrement left on doorsteps.
The cathedral's verger, John Campbell, said the repair bill had so far reached just over �5,000.
Lincolnshire Police said the attacks were being investigated and appealed for any information.
"We've had graffiti, some anti-social behaviour, excrement left on doorsteps and urinating on doorsteps - it's just not very pleasant for people who use the building," said Mr Campbell.
