Churches in Boultham.

Alive Church (formerly New Life Church) on Newland. Older maps label it as a Congregational Chapel, and its grade II* listing dates it to 1876. The adjacent Sunday School was the original chapel, and dates from 1840. SK 9734 7129. Both © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The former Baptist Church on Mint Street is now an estate agents. A little further down the hill is this building, which may be the Sunday School, described by Pevsner as "Arts & Crafts version of latest Flanders Gothic". Both © Steve Bulman (2010).

The Central Mosque and Cultural Centre (2018 Streetview) is a recent build on the south side of Dixon Street. A 2016 Streetview shows it under construction. SK 9678 7006. Link.

Christadelphian Hall (2024 Streetview) on Princess Street. It seems to have closed - earlier Streetviews show railings and signage, now gone. SK 9719 7031.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Skellingthorpe Road. Another view. Both © Jim Parker (2017).

A building on Wragby Road, at SK 9935 7265, is shown on a map of 1959 as a place of worship, and on a pre-WWII map as a Church Room, but no further details are known at present - can you advise? The building there today - 2022 Streetview - looks to be post-war.

The former Elim Pentecostal Church (2024 Streetview) on Monks Road. It was a Congregational Chapel in 1900. SK 9863 7143.

Ermine U.R.C. on Sudbrooke Drive. SK 9802 7339. © Jim Parker (2017). A 2025 news story dates it to the 1950's and says that the church has closed, and is in imminent risk of demolition.

Ermine West Methodist Church on Trelawney Crescent. © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The former Far Newland Congregational Chapel (2021 Streetview) stands at the corner of Newland Street West and Gresham Street. Dated 1867, it seems to have gone out of use in the middle of the last century. A map of 1889 labels it as Congregational Mission Chap. SK 9674 7163.

Jew's House on Steep Hill, originally dating from the C12. According to the plaque, this was used as a synagogue, though Pevsner thinks this attribution is "on scanty evidence". © Steve Bulman (2009).

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Birchwood Avenue. © Jim Parker (2017).

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Danes Terrace. © Steve Bulman (2009).

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (2020 Streetview) on Riverside Drive. SK 9709 7056.

There used to be a Kingdom Hall (of Jehovah's Witnesses, presumably) on Baggholme Road. It shows on a map revised in 1963-4. Its site is now a car park, seen by Streetview in 2024. Its frontage was about level with the black car, and it extended to just beyond the nearest walls of the flats. SK 9823 7114.

Life Church on Birchwood Avenue. Another view. Both © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

Lincoln Crematorium Chapel on Washingborough Road. © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

Lincoln Baptist Church (2024 Streetview) is on St. Rumbold Street, at SK 9805 7124. Another view, from Streetview in 2024, Link. History here dates it to 1978, and advises that it was built to replace the Mint Street Baptist (which needed a lot of money spending on it), and Monks Road Baptist (compulsorily purchased to allow for expansion of a college). For the Mint Street Baptist see the Baptist Church entry near the top of this page. Monks Road Baptist stood at SK 9793 7143, and is dated in the history already referenced to 1884.

Lincoln Evangelical Church on Uffington Close. © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

Newport Hall (1876) on Chapel Lane, was, according to the Lincolnshire County Council Archive, Lincoln Free Church (New Life Christian Fellowship) in the early 1980's. Now a private residence, can you supply its earlier history? SK 975 721. © Steve Bulman (2010).

Orthodox Christian Church of All Saints - see St. Matthias, below.

Our Lady of Lincoln Catholic Church on Laughton Way. Another view. Both © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The former Primitive Methodist Chapel on Croft Street, as seen by Streetview in 2024. This source dates it to 1904-1940. It stands on the site of an earlier, smaller, Congregational Chapel, which shows on a map of the mid-1880's. SK 9809 7126.

Prison Chapel in Lincoln Castle. © David Regan. Another view, © Janet Gimber (2018).

The former St. Benedict on St. Benedict's Square is now used as a day centre. Another view, showing a fossil chancel arch, showing that the church was once larger, and the tower must date to after the rest of the church was demolished. At the base of the chancel arch is an old column capital. © Steve Bulman (2010).

St. Katherine (originally Wesleyan Methodist, now Anglican) on High Street. Built on the site of St. Katherine's Priory Without Lincoln, the Methodist Church was opened in 1888, and closed in 1977. It served as various commercial premises, but as the present century dawned, it was disused, and in a very poor state of repair. It was refurbished as a Community and Cultural Centre, and the Lady Chapel returned to use for Anglican services. Interior view, which shows a painted design for a new stained glass window. The gallery. SK 971 695. All © Steve Bulman (2010). Link.

St. Luke and St. Martin on Jasmin Road, Birchwood. Another view. Both © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The site of St. Martin, which used to stand on St. Martin's Lane. A good history here where it says it was a Saxon foundation, destroyed in the civil war, re-built in 1739-40 (there is an illustration of this building), and demolished in Victorian times, except for the tower (photo here) which survived until 1930. SK 9755 7151. © Steve Bulman (2024).

St. Mary-le-Wigford on St. Mary's Street is said to be Lincoln's oldest church. SK 974 709. © Steve Bulman (2009). Another view, © Alan Blacklock (2010). Interior view, © Stuart Mackrell. Another view, from the railway station, © Howard Richter (2017). Link. Grade I listed.

St. Mary Magdalene on Bailgate, close to the cathedral. Interior view. Originally C13, it is almost entirely now of the Victorian re-build. Both © Steve Bulman (2009).

The now demolished St. Matthew, a tin tabernacle. Genuki dates it to 1912-2000. They provide a grid reference of SK 96701 70254, which puts it at the corner of Boultham Park Road and Church Drive, but curiously the 1" O.S. map of the mid 20th century doesn't mark it with the usual cross. It does however show on 1930's maps as a Mission HallAssuming this is the correct location (and Church Drive suggests it is), the building on the site today, (which is handily called St. Matthew's House) can be seen on a Streetview from 2020. The first Streetview, from 2009 shows that the church had been demolished by then. © Karel Kuča (2007). A BBC news story mentions that the church had been listed.

St. Matthias (1891) on Yarborough Crescent and Burton Road. © Steve Bulman (2009). Before 2017, this had become Orthodox Christian Church of All Saints. Another view. Both © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The former St. Michael on the Mount, on Christ's Hospital Terrace, off Steep Hill, now used for educational purposes. I couldn't find access to the site, so couldn't photograph from another angle. Genuki has one here. © Steve Bulman (2009).

St. Nicholas on Newport. © Steve Bulman (2009). Another view, © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

Salvation Army on High Street and Alfred Street presumably had a previous ownership. Can the "tower" really have been designed like that? A separate building to the rear may also have been a chapel - can you confirm? Both © Steve Bulman (2010). Link. My speculations as to the building's history have been demolished by Rob Brettle, who has advised that the building was custom-built for the S.A.

Seventh-day Adventist Church on Rasen Lane. © Jim Parker (2017). Link.

The former South Bar Congregational Mission Room (1905) on High Street, later South Bar Congregational Church, and identified by Janet Gimber. Circa SK 972 697. © Steve Bulman (2010). Another view, © Jim Parker (2017). Link, which advises that the church became redundant "after 1991" and that it is now in use as warehousing for a garage.
