Leicester Secular Hall, Grade II listed Victorian building in Leicester, England
The Leicester Secular Hall features five carved busts on its facade depicting Socrates, Jesus, Voltaire, Thomas Paine, and Robert Owen alongside decorative brickwork and large windows.
Built in 1881 under architect W. Larner Sugden's direction, the hall emerged after local freethinkers established a dedicated space for promoting rationalism and scientific discussions.
The hall contains an educational library focusing on humanism, philosophy, and secularism while hosting regular lectures, debates, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Located at 75 Humberstone Gate in central Leicester, the building received accessibility improvements in 2013 including new facilities for visitors with mobility requirements.
The architectural style incorporates Free Flemish Renaissance elements, deliberately different from Anglican church designs prevalent during the Victorian period.
