Chapel Kingsway Lincoln Lincolns Lost Sardinian Sep18

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Sardinian Chapel of Lincoln's Inn, London, as it stood in 1906, just before its demolition. The chapel, a historic landmark of Roman Catholic faith in the heart of the city, was sadly lost to make way for the new Kingsway thoroughfare. Built in the late 17th century, the Sardinian Chapel was a cherished part of the Lincoln's Inn community, with a rich history and strong connections to the Italian diaspora in London. The chapel's distinctive façade, adorned with intricate stonework and topped with a tall, slender spire, was a familiar sight to generations of Londoners. Despite efforts to save the chapel, it was ultimately deemed necessary to demolish it to make way for the new road. The loss of the Sardinian Chapel was deeply felt by the Roman Catholic community and the wider public, who mourned the loss of a precious piece of London's architectural and religious heritage. Today, a new church stands in its place, fronting onto Kingsway, but the memory of the Sardinian Chapel lives on through photographs like this one. This image offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of a time when this beautiful chapel was an integral part of London's urban landscape.
