Wigston: St Wistan

Building Access and Services information

As of 1st March 2024, St Wistan's has closed as a regular place of worship. The building initially closed in 2018 due to significant structural issues. Regular services continue to be held at All Saints, which has always been the parish church anyway. A subsequent period of consultation established that its use as a regular place of worship was not sustainable. The Leicester Diocesan Board of Finance will seek to find an alternative use for the building. For further information, do please contact us using the button in the sidebar.
