History
editThe church was originally built in the 1050 AD period and had a churchyard. The church was located directly north of St Edmunds Church and south of the cathedral. The church was connected with the Clewmarket and it is believed that the church and Clewmarket had close ties with each other.[3] The parish the church served shrunk around the 13th Century due to the construction of the nearby Franciscan Friary (Greyfriars). The church later ceased use by order of the Lincoln City Council in 1535 who liquidated the church and its parish. The church was later demolished and its stone was used on setting and dyking the common land between Lincoln and the nearby village of Burton. It is unknown what happened to the churchyard and chancel after demolition.[4]
Present day
editThe site of the church and churchyard is now occupied by a bar and grill and a multi-use venue.[5][6]
