Donisthorpe Leicestershire

Church of St John the Evangelist, Donisthorpe Leicestershire, built of grey sandstone in 1838 in perpendicular style. consists of a west porch and embattled tower which has a clock and 1 bell, aisleless nave and. shallow altar chapel.

This parish was formerly in Derbyshire, later being transferred to Leicestershire

The nave was restored in 1889—90, followed by further restorations in 1891, at a total cost of £700, and again in 1898: At that time there were 500 sittings, 200 being free.

 

Plans are now afoot to make the building "suitable for the 21st century".
