Author(s): P Smith

Published no date

The Great Hall at Leicester Castle is listed at Grade I and also Scheduled as an Ancient Monument. The building has been in the ownership of Leicester City since it was closed as a courtroom in 1990. The building is now used by the Leicester Museum for storage, though the courts are open for educational visits on request. The courts have also been used as the setting for a number of television programmes. This report has been requested by Louise Brennan, Historic Buildings Inspector for the East Midlands Team who has been approached by Leicester City Council, who are considering possible alternative uses for the building.
