St Peter's Church is a church in Empingham, Rutland. It is a Grade I listed building. [1]
The church was mostly built in the 13th century [2] but there has certainly been a church here since the Norman era. The southern arcade, dating back to the early 13th century, is the oldest part of the current church. The chancel also dates from the 13th century and has a double piscina and a triple sedilia. [3] The northern aisle was built in the 14th century. The piscinas indicate where the altars were around the church. [4]
In the 15th century the clerestory was added [3] and the roof was raised. The figures carved on the roof were added at this time. [3] [4]
A slightly painted over, medieval wall painting depicting the Virgin Mary, is situated on the southern wall. [4] [5]
The northern transept has some stone grave slabs as well as a painting showing the faces of St Joachim and St Anne. [4] [5]

St Helen's Church is the Anglican parish church of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the deanery of North West Leicestershire and the Diocese of Leicester. There was a church in the town in the 11th century, but the core of the present building mainly dates from work started in 1474, when the church was rebuilt by William Hastings at the same time that he converted his neighbouring manor house into a castle. The church was refurbished in about 1670 to create more space, but the large and increasing size of the congregation led to further work in 1829, and a major rebuild in 1878–80, including the widening of the nave by the addition of two outer aisles.
