This article appears in today's Leicester Mercury:
Churches close
Two city churches were set to close their doors for the last time today.
St Peter's Church, off Thurcaston Road, Belgrave, and St Gabriel's, in Kerrysdale Avenue, off Gipsy Lane, were set to close today.
The two churches form the Parish of the Resurrection, which also includes St Alban's, in Weymouth Street.
A decision to shut both St Peter's and St Gabriel's was taken by the Church of England because of dwindling congregations and costly heating and repair bills.
