More about this scene
Situated just outside the Inner Ring Road on the north side of the city, St Margaret's, one of Leicestershire's fin- est mainly 15th-century churches, can hardly be said to be enhanced by its factory and bus station setting. It is externally impressive, and internally large and light, with perhaps the too-overwhelming feeling that the hand of the Victorian restorer has been somewhat heavy. There are some unattributed monuments, and modest glass, but all is just a fraction too bland. The other building, which occupies a high percentage of this shot, has the turn-of- the-century feel of E.S. Prior about it.
