St Edmunds Church, Lincoln was a medieval parish church in the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It was built in 950 AD and served as one of the many parish churches for the city and surrounding area until 1437 AD when it was demolished. The site of the church and churchyard are now under an office building called "Thomas Parker House". The church was located at the junction of Silver Street and Free School Lane.[2]
The church was originally built in 950 AD and was located a short distance to the northwest of St Swithin's Church. The church was dedicated to St Edmund who was the king of East Anglia and was worshipped as a martyr by the church and its worshippers. The church had around 10 worshippers due to the small size of the parish at the time. The church was later demolished in 1437 AD.
The site of the church and churchyard is now occupied by the former Lincoln Co-Operative Society Silvergate Department Store (now the Thomas Parker House).[3]
