St. Swithin's Church, Lincoln, Victorian church in Lincoln, England.

St. Swithin's Church features a stone construction with a tower, spire, nave, aisles, and chancel designed by architect James Fowler of Louth.

The current structure replaced an earlier church near the Sheep Market that burned in 1644 during the English Civil War and was rebuilt in 1801.

Mathematician George Boole received his christening at the previous church location in 1815, where Rector Dickson supported his mathematical studies.

While the main building undergoes roof repairs, religious services continue at the Salthouse on Free School Lane every Sunday.

During the church construction, workers discovered a Roman altar, and the building contains a 213-kilogram bell cast in 1851 by Whitechapel founders.
