Why it's Wildland
5.8Consecrated on Ascension Day 1623, the Chapel of the Holy and Undivided Trinity has remained a place of worship at Lincoln’s Inn ever since.
A working chapel with a documented four-century history, set within Lincoln’s Inn’s historic legal precinct. Its appeal is the contrast between a quiet place for reflection and the busy central London streets around it; public access is subject to the Inn’s stated schedule.
