The First Lincolnshire Pope

THE FIRST POPE OF LINCOLNSHIRE

Pope Adrian IV
Nicholas Breakspear

Nicholas Breakspear became Pope Adrian IV in 1154 and is the only Englishman to have ever been Pope.

His real claim to fame however is that he was curate (or possibly rector) of Tydd St Mary’s in Lincolnshire. The main details about this English Pope can be found HERE!
