History
edit
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]
Present day
edit
The site of the church and churchyard is now occupied by a car park and the Lincoln Museum.[8] There is also a church in the suburb of Swallowbeck using the same name of the church, St George's Church.[9]
