The former Baptist Church on Mint Street is now an estate agent. A little further down the hill is this building, which may be the Sunday School, described by Pevsner as "Arts & Crafts version of latest Flanders Gothic".  Both © Steve Bulman (2010).

Central Methodist Church (1905) on High Street. SK 972 704. © Steve Bulman (2010).

Jew's House, originally dating from the C12. According to the plaque, this was used as a synagogue, though Pevsner thinks this attribution is "on scanty evidence". © Steve Bulman (2009).

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on Danes Terrace. © Steve Bulman (2009).

Methodist Church on Burton Road. © Steve Bulman (2009).

New Life Church on Newland was originally Congregational (1876). The previous church building stands next door, and dates from 1840. SK 973 712. Both © Steve Bulman (2009). Link.

Newport Hall (1876) on Chapel Lane, was, according to the Lincolnshire County Council Archive, Lincoln Free Church (New Life Christian Fellowship) in the early 1980's. Now a private residence, can you supply its earlier history? SK 975 721. © Steve Bulman (2010).

The former St. Benedict on St. Benedict's Square is now used as a day centre. Another view, showing a fossil chancel arch, showing that the church was once larger, and the tower must date to after the rest of the church was demolished. At the base of the chancel arch is an old column capital. © Steve Bulman (2010).

St. Botolph on High Street. Another view. SK 972 698. Both © Steve Bulman (2010).

St. Katherine (originally Wesleyan Methodist, now Anglican) on High Street. Built on the site of St. Katherine's Priory Without Lincoln, the Methodist Church was opened in 1888, and closed in 1977. It served as various commercial premises, but as the present century dawned, it was disused, and in a very poor state of repair. It was refurbished as a Community and Cultural Centre, and the Lady Chapel returned to use for Anglican services. Interior view, which shows a painted design for a new stained glass window. The gallery. SK 971 695. All © Steve Bulman (2010). Link.

St. Mary-le-Wigford on High Street. © Steve Bulman (2009).

St. Mary Magdalene on Bailgate, close to the cathedral. Interior view. Originally C13, it is almost entirely now of the Victorian re-build. Both © Steve Bulman (2009).

St. Matthias (1891) on Yarborough Crescent and Burton Road. © Steve Bulman (2009).

The former St. Michael on the Mount, on Christ's Hospital Terrace, off Steep Hill, now used for educational purposes. I couldn't find access to the site, so couldn't photograph from another angle. Genuki has one here. © Steve Bulman (2009).

St. Nicholas on Newport. © Steve Bulman (2009).

St. Peter and St. Andrew, originally St. Peter at Gowts, on High Street. Another view. SK 973 704. Both © Steve Bulman (2010).

St. Swithin on Free School Lane. © Dave Hitchborne. Another view. © Steve Bulman (2009).

Salvation Army on High Street and Alfred Street presumably had a previous ownership. Can the "tower" really have been designed like that? A separate building to the rear may also have been a chapel - can you confirm? Both © Steve Bulman (2010).
