This church named ST Mary De Castro Church is a medieval origin where, the careful visitor can notice the arch clearly of Romanesque style;today this anglican place of worship has become the episcopal center of Leicester.The entire facade of the church was built at the time,within the confines of the castle.In 1950 it was recognized as a world heritage site by UNESCO.In my opinion it is a beautiful and very quiet place and with its millenary history there can be a lot.In this pleasant place, families can spend moments of the true peace because this quiet corner can offer a silence.I would dare to say even if around this area the chaos of the modern day is fervent. To conclude this review, I must inform all lovers of music, that in different periods of the year many concerts are performed, worthy of being listened to.

Absolutely fascinating space to explore - social and religious history. Great welcome as well.

A hidden gem. No matter what your beliefs, this is a place of tranquility and beauty. Open 12-2 during the week, take time to look around, especially at the stained glass. Wow!

A pretty medieval church with Romanesque arch. It's in a beautiful setting with Leicester Castle on its west side, and a massive oak and small graveyard on the other

Nice place and location yet sadly I can't say much for the people who take care of the church. Not the most amiable of people! Speaking as a volunteer organist who has been playing in most churches in Leicester since the age of six, the welcome I was given by a few members of the congregation wasn't much I can say. I was sat at the organ for probably less than ten minutes when someone came up to me being vwry brusque asking me questions as to why I was playing. There's a certain way of asking folk one has never met before and that way was definitely not used here. A fine old Porritt in need of attention but sadly for the people, I can safely say I shan't be attending any services again.
