Portfolio / Conservation / St. Dionysius Church, Market Harborough, Leicestershire
The octagonal crocketted broach spire, which rises to 47.00 metres above the ground, was restored to a slightly lower height than formerly after a severe storm in January 1735 had carried away the top section.The whole of the original fifteenth century roof was renewed in 1953 and 1961 substantially to the original design.
The church occupies a position of considerable visual importance in the central conservation area of the town of Market Harborough and contributes significantly to the architectural scene and quality of the environment.
The church underwent an extensive renovation programme during 1983 - 1987 and continues to be maintained to a high standard.
There are no tombs, burial spaces or headstones either inside or outside the church.
