Church of St James the Greater, Anglican church in Leicester, England.
The Church of St James the Greater stands south of Leicester city center on London Road, opposite Victoria Park, with a prominent west front.
Construction began in 1899 after architect Henry Langton Goddard visited northern Italy, drawing inspiration from Torcello Cathedral for the building design.
The church maintains regular Anglican worship services through varied liturgical ceremonies and musical performances, bringing together people from across Leicestershire.
Visitors can attend monthly Sunday concerts at 3:00 PM, featuring local musical groups with a retiring collection supporting church activities.
The interior decoration reflects direct influences from Venetian and Florentine churches, incorporating elements observed during the architect's travels through Italy.
