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; support under pressure. Please visit the following links for more information on what we offer here.
The Chapel was consecrated on Ascension Day 1623 by George Montaigne, then-Lord Bishop of London, and has continued to be a centre of worship ever since. More information on the history of the Chapel is available here. A more detailed account is provided in the short book by Stella Baker, The Chapels of Lincoln’s Inn Since 1422 (2008), which is available for purchase from the Library at the cost of £5.00.
The Chapel is open to the public from Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00, as a place of prayer, quiet and reflection; as well as on Sundays for services during the legal terms, from 11:00 to 12:30. It is closed on Saturdays, on bank holidays, and during August. It may occasionally be closed at other times, which will be listed below. All are welcome to visit us during our opening hours, and to join us at all our advertised services.
Please note that the Chapel will be closed from Friday 31 July until Sunday 31 August, re-opening on Monday 1 September.
The last Chapel service of Trinity Term takes place on Sunday 20 July (Choral Matins at 11:30) – after which, Sunday services resume on Sunday 5 October with Choral Matins at 11:30.
The current Chapel Calendar is available here.
