St Mary Magdalene, Bailgate, Lincoln
St Mary Magdalene, Bailgate, is a Grade II listed parish church in Lincoln, England. It is dedicated to Jesus' companion, Mary Magdalene.
History
The church stands in the Exchequer near the site of a Saxon church, St Mary's, (which is believed to be under the present cathedral building) mentioned in the Domesday book. The current building dates from the late twelfth/early thirteenth century, was opened in 1317 and was rebuilt in 1695, following damage by the Parliamentary forces in 1644. In 1882 George Frederick Bodley undertook some remodelling work including a chancel screen and organ case.
