Dist:0.6km<br/>The current church in Narborough dates from the 13th Century although it is highly probable an even earlier church dating back to the 10th century or before stood on or near the site. A Saxon tombstone called a Hogback was found near the church and is on display at the Jewry Wall museum in Leicester. The church was largely rebuilt in 1856-1883. There are two aisles, nave, chancel and north vestry with a west tower containing a ring of six bells. The large nave of six bays has fine piers and strong shafts. The chancel was rebuilt in 1883 by F. Bacon. There is also an Ascension window by Theodora Salusbury from 1929 (Carlton church has a another fine window by the artist) in the north aisle. The stained window has two fish hidden in the folds of the robes. The ornate reredo behind the altar is very fine as is the whole of the chancel area. The parish is part of the benefice of Narborough and Huncote, within the Diocese of Leicester. The church has weekly Sunday services and other events, including a yearly Christmas Tree Festival. The church is normally locked, but hold regular events and open days.
