Scene Description: Source caption: "St Mary Le Wigford, St Mary's Street, Lincoln
The east end of the Parish and Civic Church for the city. [...] This is the oldest church site in the city with the tower dating back to 980AD. This Grade I-listed building dates from the C11th and in addition has C12th and C13th additions. The church was restored in 1872 by R.C. Clarke of Nottingham. Robert C. Clarke (1819-77) designed several surviving buildings in central Nottingham: the Artisan’s Library on Thurland Street (1854), the Journal Chambers and Printing Offices (1860) on Pelham Street and the Factory, Lace Dressing Rooms etc for Messrs. Lambert on Talbot Street (1863). The church's south aisle was added in 1877. The tower houses four bells dating from 1616 and 1636, making them the oldest peal of bells in the city."

There are thirteen entries for Lincoln [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9771/lincoln/] [accessed 16 December 2018]; one of the entries reports a church in it; another, two churches; a third, two churches; a total of five churches in the twelve entries. Betjeman (1958) mentions a baptismal font of the 15th century in this church. Described in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Per[endicular], with flowers, leaves, and one shield." The entry for this church in Historic England [List Entry Number: 1388597] notes: "Church. C11, C12, C13. South aisle 1877 by Leach of Cambridge. Restored 1872 by R C Clarke of Nottingham.
