Leicester Cathedral (Cathedral Church of St Martin)

Leicester's Cathedral is at the beating heart of the city and county. A place of calm and transcendence, and the final resting place of King Richard III. Join us online at www.leicestercathedral.org

Our church, built on a Roman site and dedicated to St Martin of Tours, has been embedded in the public, economic, cultural and religious life of this community for over 1,000 years. Since 1927, as the seat of the Bishop of Leicester, we now gather people together for worship, celebration, lament, debate and service of the poor and vulnerable.

We offer hospitality to the wider church, the communities of faith that make up our multicultural society and those who come as visitors to the East Midlands, especially in search of the story of King Richard III.

We invite you to join with us in this adventure.
