The Lincoln Cathedral, about 100 miles north of London, is being used as a stand-in for Westminster Abbey, which denied a request to film there. The makers of the controversial movie made a $180,000 donation to use the Lincoln Cathedral, the World Entertainment News Network reports. Advertisement Lincoln Cathedral's the Rev. Alec Knight had called Dan Brown's bestseller, which claims Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child, "a load of old tosh," but said the money would pay for badly needed repairs at the 11th century cathedral. Sister Mary Michael, 61, said her group was not buying leaders' claims that it was OK to shoot the film at the Lincoln Cathedral because it was fiction. "I just don't think it is right that they are filming this story here," she said. "... It might even be brilliant fiction -- but it is against the very essence of what we believe."
