About this event

De Montfort University campus sits at the heart of Leicester in an area that is steeped in history. Learn of the ancient origins of the campus site to its manufacturing heyday and founding of the university's predecessor.

The walk focuses on the medieval history of the site surrounding campus, encompassing Castle Motte, Castle Great Hall, St Mary de Castro (exterior), Turret Gateway, Trinity Hospital chapel, Chantry House (exterior), and the Church of the Annunciation ruins within the DMU Museum.
