All Saints Church, Loughborough

All Saints Church is a stone structure positioned on a hill in the old town center of Loughborough, marked by a notable tower built in the 15th century. The building features ten bells and multiple windows that reflect architecture from different periods.

The church was built in 1350 during a period of economic growth from the wool trade, and expanded over centuries with the tower rising in the 15th century. This growth reflects Loughborough's prosperity and importance as a medieval English town.

The church has shaped community life for centuries through regular worship and local gatherings. People still use it today as a place where residents connect and celebrate important occasions together.

The church is open most Saturday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00, but you can arrange visits at other times by contacting ahead. It helps to check beforehand what parts of the building are accessible, especially if you want to see the bells or climb the tower.

The building houses ten bells cast between 1897 and 1899 at the John Taylor Bellfoundry, a foundry located less than one kilometer away. This local creation reveals a close connection between the church and the town's craft heritage.
