Portfolio / Conservation / St. Dionysius Church, Market Harborough, Leicestershire
The church, dedicated to St Dionysius the Areopagite first Bishop of Athens dates from the thirteenth century but the building as it exists today was mainly erected in the first half of the fourteenth century, the nave having been subsequently reconstructed and increased in height by the addition of the clerestory late in the fifteenth century.Galleries were erected over the north and south aisles in 1836, except for the two western arches into which the galleries were extended in 1844. At the same time the earlier western gallery was taken down and an organ (since removed) placed there.
The north and south porches date from the latter half of the fifteenth century and both have chambers above them, that on the north side containing some late seventeenth century panelling. The north porch contains a kitchen and toilet facilities.
