Leicester Cathedral is a working Church of England Cathedral at the heart of the City and County. Since Norman Times the site has evolved and enlarged undergoing major restoration in the 19th century. It is now listed as a Grade 1 building.

The building is a first class educational resource particularly for younger children who may find larger cathedrals rather overwhelming. Details of possible educational visits can be found by clicking here.
