St Katherine's Church, Lincoln also known as "Southside" and "St Katherines Cathedral Church" is a Grade II-listed church in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. It is a former Methodist church in the Boultham and St Catherine's areas of the city. It was first opened in 1887 with the tower and spire being added later. Designed for a large congregation, the church could seat 600 people.[1] Pevsner records the architect of the church as being Charles Bell.[2] During its use as a place of worship, it was dubbed "Lincoln's second cathedral", (after the much older and larger cathedral in the city centre).[3][4] It is a Grade II listed building.[5]
The church was declared redundant in 1982 and was then reused for a DIY warehouse before being left vacated. Now it is in use for a community venue and commercial centre as "Southside".[6]
