About this episode

Leicester’s All Saints Church, a historic site, is set for urgent repairs after decades of neglect and a recent collapse.

Leicester’s ancient All Saints Church, dating back to the 11th century and once the heart of medieval life—including a stop for Richard the Third—has finally gotten the attention it deserves after decades of neglect. Parts of the Grade-I listed building collapsed last fall, prompting urgent repairs by the Churches Conservation Trust. With a decision expected by July 17th, this historic gem, which once served as a law court and community hub, could soon be restored to its former glory—preserving a vital piece of the city’s nearly 1,000-year story.
