Find a church

Situated in Leicester's Victorian New Walk area.

A Saxon church built on the Roman site of Viroconium.

The church of St Edmund King & Martyr, with more than a thousand years of history, stands at the centre of the market town of Kingsbridge.

St Mary's is set in a part of Leicester where the city's medieval past can still be imagined: here are the castle mound and the castle walls, approached from the south via a castle gateway.

The old church at Mereworth was found to spoil the view of John Fane, 7th Earl of Westmorland, from his splendid new Palladian house, so he demolished it (he had already done away with the old castle and the village) and built a new classical church, and a new village, nearby.

Externally it is the late 15th century tower that grabs one's attention.

Resting place of King Richard III.
