All Saints in Hungate Church was a medieval parish church in the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It was built in 1050 AD and served as one of the many parish churches for the city and surrounding area until 1533 AD when it was demolished. The site of the church and churchyard are now under a nightclub called "Home". The church was located at the junction of Mint Lane and Park Street.[2]

History

[edit]

The church was originally built in the 1050 AD period and came complete with its own churchyard which along with the church was given to the cathedral between 1115 and 1116 by Henry I of England. The church and graveyard remained in the ownership of the cathedral until it was merged with St Peters At Arches Church. It is believed to have been due to the lack of parishioners using the church and the 13th Century Cloth Trade decline which hit the city and its residents as a result. The church and graveyard were later demolished sometime around 1533 AD with fabric from the church being put for sale and then sold.[3]

Present day

[edit]

The site of the church and churchyard is now occupied by the Home nightclub.[4]
