          After the demolition of the apsidal church at some point in the sixth century, the forum then seems to have been used as a graveyard for several centuries & was probably kept open with graves marked until the 10th century, when a small stone church was built around one of them…

          Fwiw, has been suggested the large Roman basilica that formed the north of the forum was refurbished in the 7thC to become the stone church of Paulinus... Might explain exceptional survival of its north wall... (pic=http://heritageconnectlincoln.com/imgGallery/original_2008_Mint_Wall.jpg …)pic.twitter.com/quYyFRoRTi

          In any case, the Roman forum clearly used & kept open as a burial ground through until 10th century, when stone church built there. This began sequence of stone churches here that lasted until 1972.

          Of course, Lincoln's 5th-/6th-century church not only evidence for continuing Romano-British Christianity in eastern Britain e.g. in c. 600, Pope Gregory sent St Augustine the relics of Sixtus II to replace those of an unknown British St Sixtus whose cult he encountered...

          And not forgetting that some Anglo-Saxons were also converted pre-Augustine, of course! For example, Pilu & Genereus were two Christian 'Saxons' who were on Iona with St Columba before AD 597: https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/columba-e.asp … (chps 11+23) :)

          Also worth noting that the Roman gates at either end of the east–west road that passed through the forum may well have seen activity/maintenance too e.g. not only was Roman west gate still standing in 11thC, but so too was its first floor chamber...
