The church was originally built around 1100 and had a churchyard. The church was located to the south of Lincoln Cathedral and it was located in the Abbey parish of the city but had few worshippers: roughly ten parishioners at a time. Around 1461, the parish was merged with St Michael's, and as a result the church was later demolished. [4] The church was also built on land that was owned by Vives of Norwich, [5] Elias Martrin's son, Issac Martrin and other land owners. [6] [7]
