Summary Description

Seagrave is a small village (population 546 according to the 2011 census) which is mentioned in the Domesday Book and which lies within the Diocese of Leicester. It almost certainly stands on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The church consists of a nave and north and south aisles built in the 13th and 14th centuries, although parts of the fabric may be older; a west tower built in the 14th century; a chancel restored/rebuilt in the late 19th century and north and south porches added in the same century. The building is a mixture of squared ashlar/walling laid to close coursing and granite rubble stone with stone dressings. The nave, chancel and porches are roofed with steeply pitched Swithland slate and the aisles with low pitched copper sheets.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
