St Giles Church, Lincoln is a grade-II listed active parish church in St Giles, a suburb of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It was built as a replacement for the former St Peter at Arches Church[1] which was demolished in 1930. The church serves as a place of worship and community hub for the surrounding areas. The church was grade II listed in 1953 and also has a church hall for use for the local community as well as the church itself. The church also was named "the church that moved"[2] in reference to its move after the demolition of its predecessor in the city centre.[3][4]
