400 years ago, the new Chapel at Lincoln’s Inn was consecrated – a grand but somewhat enigmatic building. We are delighted to welcome Dr Mark Kirkby (Lincoln College, Oxford) who will discuss the design and construction of the building, placing it in the context of contemporary debates over styles in church architecture, furnishing and worship. Non-members of the Inn are welcome to attend.

The Chapel will be open 5.00 - 6.00 pm if attendees would like to visit.

The Lecture will be followed by a drinks reception.
