About Hackthorn St Michael and All Angels Parish Church

Hackthorn St Michael and All Angels Parish Church welcomes worshippers in Lincoln as one of the Church of England churches of Lincolnshire. Members come from across Lincoln and neighbouring communities in Lincolnshire. To confirm when services are held, it is best to get in touch with the church directly.

The Church of England tradition holds a distinctive place within British church life. The Church of England is the established church in England, with a parish system that reaches every community in the country. Shaped by the English Reformation, it holds catholic and reformed traditions together, from quiet rural evensong to lively city congregations. It cares for around 16,000 church buildings, and average weekly attendance is roughly 700,000. The tradition traces its modern form to the 16th century (English Reformation). As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts around 700,000 weekly attenders.

It belongs to the broad community of churches across England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses. Lincoln is the county town of Lincolnshire and a focal point for church life in the area. The church forms part of the wider Church of England presence across Lincolnshire.

Thinking of coming along? Simply turn up: no invitation is needed. Allow a little extra time for getting there, as parking close to older church buildings can be tight, and if accessibility is a concern, a quick call ahead will confirm arrangements such as ramps, accessible toilets or a hearing loop.
