It is situated on the corner of Monks Road and Friars Lane in the city centre.

These plans came to nothing, so in 1886, the mayor of Lincoln, Francis Clarke, put forward £7,000 to build a church in the same place.

[4] On 17 November 1892, the church foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Nottingham, Edward Bagshawe.

Construction work finished the next year, to a total cost of £7,300, and on 19 December 1893, the church was opened by Cardinal Herbert Vaughan.

From 2008 to 2010, the church interior was refurbished with a new stone altar being added and the ceiling painted.
