More about this scene
St Mary de Castro Church c1955 St.Mary de Castro, situated as its name implies within the medieval castle, was founded by Robert de Beaumont in 1107 as a secular college, but by c1143 it had been annexed to Leicester's large Augustinian abbey. Although much restored in the 19th century, and its spire rebuilt in 1785, it is pleasing if not quite spectacular. Internally the church is an exercise in building archaeology rather than a thing of great beauty. A visit to St Mary's is a must for anyone who has not already done so, accompanied by an up- to-date copy of Pevsner.
