Facts and practical information

St. Benedict's Church, Lincoln is an ancient church in Lincoln which is mentioned in 1107 and before the English Civil War was the Lincoln Civic Church. It was extensively destroyed in the Civil War, and was only partially restored. The tower was re-built imitating the other late Saxon towers in Lincoln. All that survives is the present nave, which was the chancel of the former church' and the chapel to the north built by Robert Tattershall in 1378. The church's bell known as Old Kate, was cast in 1585 and paid for by the Lincoln Barber's Surgeons Company. The church was closed in 1931 and demolition was proposed. However, following a public outcry, the church was saved as the result of an appeal and renovation work undertaken. It is now the headquarters of the Lincoln Diocese Mothers' Union. It is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm, ()
