Summary Description

A large, long and low Edwardian church of smooth red brick in a simplified neo-Gothic style, set within an area of contemporary two-storey terraced housing in this eastern suburb of Leicester. The church was built in 1905-6 to an early design by H H Thompson of Leicester. Despite a tight budget, this is a cavernous building with a simple, dignified style and additional Arts-and-Crafts elements.
