Christ Church - Mountsorrel, Leicestershire - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The chapel of St. Nicholas was in use in 1552 but its date of construction is unknown. It had a tower and chancel and it stood in its own chapel yard. It was no longer in use in 1586 when the site was sold.

The chapel organisation, complete with its church wardens, continued until at least 1717 and there was a "curate of the South End", Mr. Edward Robinson, mentioned in 1842.

Christ Church, together with its vicarage was built and endowed in 1844 by the generosity of a wealthy lady, Miss Sarah Brinton, and a few years later it became an independent parish taken out of the old parish of Rothley, with parish boundaries that became increasingly unrealistic over the years so that part of the village of Mountsorrel lies, even today, in the ecclesiastical parish of Rothley.

The church still stands much as it was in 1844 but the chancel was lengthened in 1899 and the church lounge with its toilets and kitchen were added in 1984."
