St Nicholas Church

Market Harborough.

According to the listing, the church dates back to the 13th Century with traces of earlier building in the west end.  The chancel was built in the 18th Century with some restoration work carried out in 1900.

 

The new extension (117m² on two floors) was built in 2008 and provides

 

• kitchen/serving area,

• lobby,

• downstairs toilets

• large meeting room on the first floor accessed by stairs

• stair lift for wheelchair users to the first floor

 

The extension was built of ironstone from Great Tew with dressed stone in Ancaster Weatherbed limestone from Block Stone in Derbyshire to match the original fabric of the church and reclaimed Cumbrian slate on the roof supplied by Hunslet Roofing in Leeds, West Yorkshire.  These materials ensured that the extension blended in with the original architecture.
