St Nicholas Church is a Church of England parish church, and the oldest place of worship in Leicester, England. It is situated next to the Jewry Wall, a remnant of Roman masonry. To the east is the site of the Roman forum. The church lies just outside the city's inner ring road. Despite being some distance from the campus, it is the official church of the University of Leicester. Parts of the church fabric certainly date from c. 880 AD, and an architectural survey in the early 2000s suggested possible Roman building work. The tower is Norman. The church itself was consecrated in 879, and in modern times retains almost all of the original nave and crossing tower. It has been suggested that an Anglo-Saxon minster on the same site was the cathedral for the Diocese of Leicester, 679–874, and the current church may contain some material from this building.
