Golding Young & Mawer

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1864

We aren't just auctioneers; we are custodians of Lincolnshire's history. Our story began in 1864 with Thos. Mawer in Lincoln, and today, Golding Young stands as the region's largest firm of chattels auctioneers. We’ve spent over a century and a half building a reputation for integrity, professional diligence, and record-breaking results.
