St Benedict's, Lincoln

One exceedingly sunny day, I was invited to visit a series of City Centre churches in Lincoln:

St Peter at Gowts, St Mary le Wigford, and St Benedict’s

Having already explored St Peter at Gowts and St Mary le Wigford we headed over to St Benedicts, a mostly disused church that is basically an architectural murder mystery.

St Benedict's dates from the 1000's, but the only bit dating from that time is the nave, which was originally the chancel of the church. There's also a bit of a side chapel from the late 1300's. It was massively damaged in the Civil War, and then the Victorians messed with it.

These days the church is mostly abandoned, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still beautiful, in it’s own way. Please enjoy the beautiful, wonderful, chaos.
