We will take a walk around places of faith in Leicester City. Starting at Leicester Unitarian Great Meeting Chapel.
Leicester’s Unitarian Chapel, known historically as ‘The Great Meeting’ – was built in 1708. It is the oldest complete brick building in Leicester and one of the most important historic buildings to survive in the city. The roof is a fine and intact example of early 18th century oak vernacular carpentry and has a unique and ingenious structure which suspends an octagonal plaster ceiling. https://www.leicesterunitarians.org
We will then go on to look at some of the other interesting religious buildings in Leicester, all will be in walking distance - the exact itinerary is being finalised but it will be a case of walking from one site to another - some sites we will be able to go inside whereas others we will view the exterior. There will be plenty of opportunities for coffees and discussion. They idea is to have a leisurely stroll and find some interesting images, there should be opportunities for architecture, interiors and abstract or details.
