The chapel of Lincoln's Inn Fields was mostly used as a Roman Catholic place of worship. Because of this, its history is a rather tempestuous one.
The chapel of Lincoln's Inn Fields, St Anselm and Cecilia&nbsp;built some time by about 1688 was converted to&nbsp;a Roman Catholic place of worship for the embassadors and their respective entourages to Portugal and later,&nbsp;Sardinia until to at least the year 1858.<ref>'Lincoln's Inn Fields: The Church of SS. Anselm and Cecilia', Survey of London: volume 3: St Giles-in-the-Fields, pt I: Lincoln's Inn Fields (1912), pp. 81-84.
