The Parish of Our Lady of Lincoln grew from a modest beginning as a 'Chapel of Ease' served by priests from St. Hugh's, Monks Road, Lincoln. Mass was at first celebrated in a room over the CO-OP shop on Wragby Road, Lincoln, but before long a small church, built of wood, was opened in the Oval Approach on the St.Giles Estate and this served the Catholic community in the up-hill area for a number of years.

As housing increased in the northern area of Lincoln, Bishop McNulty of Nottingham, in whose diocese Lincoln is situated, appointed Father J. L. McLaughlin as first Parish Priest in 1943 and a house at 15 Longdales Road was obtained as a presbytery. The Parish of Our Lady of Lincoln was then separated from St. Hugh's and established as a parish in its own right.

The title of the new parish was chosen because in pre-Reformation Lincoln there was a shrine in the cathedral in honour of 'Our Lady of Lincoln', which was visited by pilgrims from near and far. Indeed the city of Lincoln has had a long history of devotion to the Mother of God. The Cathedral, built in the 11 th. Century, was dedicated to Our Lady of the Annunciation, and in later centuries the Annunciation scene was depicted on the Stonebow in Lincoln High Street.
