St. Giles Estate is an inner city area[1] and housing estate of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It is located to the northeast of the city bordering the Ermine Estate to the north and west. The estate was developed largely in the 1920s and 1930s, although some extensions were undertaken immediately after World War II.[2] The design and layout of the estate was influenced by the Garden city movement, and covered around 65 acres, providing some 500 council house units.[3] In addition, a church, St Giles, was erected on the estate in 1936,[4][5] and a secondary modern school, now incorporated into Lincoln Christ's Hospital School, was built to provide education.[6]

St Giles is among the most deprived areas of the city.[7] The council has sought to address this through investment and in 2020 five new council houses were developed on the site of a former community hall on the estate.[8]
