On notable Lincoln women, you might want to look at Nichola de la Haye - King John appointed her as Sheriff, she became, after the death of her second husband, Castellan of Lincoln Castle in 1200's. I think there was also a female Sheriff in Wiltshire - Ella of Salisbury around the same time.
Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Natalie. I will be thinking about coal-burning the next time someone mentions China. Very tangible description indeed.
