The former parish church of All Saints, Highcross Street ihas been in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust since 1986. It is situated near the medival North Gate into the city, and built of local rubble stone with a brick chancel. It consists of an aisled 6-bay nave with a tower oddly sited alongside the E end of the N aisle, and a brick chancel. The tower is 12thc in its lower parts, and was thus freestanding before the aisles were added c.1300. There are lateral doorways in the W bays of the nave, and a 12thc W doorway which may be reset. The brick chancel was added in 1829, and a thorough restoration was carried out by Joseph Goddard and Albert Paget in 1874-76. The chancel arch was blocked in 1960.

The church of All Saints was probably one of those which formed the endowment of the college of St. Mary de Castro, and which were granted to Leicester Abbey in 1143. By 1220 it was appropriated to the abbey, and at the Dissolution it passed to the Crown (VCH).

The half-round angle buttresses of the tower may be compared with similar work at St Mary de Castro, Leicester, Tickencote, Rutland, and St Peter's Northampton. The general condition of the W doorway, including the lack of shaft bases, suggest that it has been reset.
