All Saints Church, Leicester, Grade I listed medieval church in Highcross Street, Leicester, England

The church features Norman architectural elements with a northeast tower, circular font adorned with stiff-leaf foliage, and traditional zig-zag carvings on the west doorway point.

Built around 1150 and granted to Leicester Abbey in 1143, the church expanded near 1300 with additional aisles and underwent multiple restorations throughout the 19th century.

The church interior contains medieval tiles, stained glass windows manufactured by William Morris and Clayton & Bell, and a 15th-century pulpit repainted in original colors.

The Churches Conservation Trust manages the building, which requires £2500 annual maintenance and currently hosts an immersive Van Gogh experience exhibition for visitors.

The church includes corbel heads of lepers positioned to view services through a wall opening and displays one of England's oldest functioning parish clocks from 1620.
