Religious denominations in Leicester

|
Leicester, in Leicestershire, UK has a long history which stretches back to pre-Roman times. Since then the population has grown continually, and keeping pace with this growth has been the building of numerous places of worship. Some still remain from the medieval period. However, it was during the 19th century, at the time of the Industrial Revolution, that saw the town's largest influx of population and correspondingly a large increase in places of worship. Adding to the number of these buildings was the accommodation for Nonconformist sects including those of Baptist, Congregational, Methodist as well as Catholic congregations. During the 20th and 21st centuries further places of worship have been built. Some in the suburbs - again to cater for the movement of population - and some for the diverse faiths that arrived in the city from many parts of the world, especially in recent decades.
