Chapel

Welcome to the Chapel. We are here to serve the whole community of the Inn – members, staff, visitors, and all those who live and work here. Our aim is to provide quiet amidst the clamour, music for the soul, stimulation for the intellect, and support under pressure.

The Chapel of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Lincoln’s Inn, was consecrated on Ascension Day 1623 by George Montaigne, Lord Bishop of London, and has continued to be a centre of worship in this place ever since. More information on the history of the Chapel is available on the History of the Inn Buildings page. A more detailed historical account (also covering the history of earlier chapels on this site) is provided in Stella Baker’s The Chapels of Lincoln’s Inn Since 1422 (2008), which is available for purchase from the Library at the cost of £5.

The Chapel is open every day from Monday to Friday, 09:00-17:00, and on Sundays for services during the Law Terms. It is closed on Saturdays, Bank Holidays, and during August. Both Members of the Inn and members of the public are very welcome to attend all our advertised services, concerts and events; and to use the Chapel for prayer and reflection.

The Inn is currently undertaking a £220,000 restoration project on the Chapel’s historic east window. If you would be interested in learning more about this project, or donating towards its costs, you can find out more by visiting the Lincoln’s Inn Heritage Fund page.
