How to find Loughborough Parish Church
Coming north or south on the M1
Leave M1 at Junction
23 and take the A512 into Loughborough. Go straight ahead through two sets
of junction lights and across the two roundabouts so that you are travelling
down Ashby Road. This is leafy with large houses and then becomes less
leafy and more commercial. You turn left immediately on the corner of
Sainsbury's into Greenclose Lane. (This is the 6th on the left on
Ashby Road after the second roundabout). You can’t go straight on at this
point.
Greenclose Lane is
very short. At the bottom of it turn left and get into the right hand
lane. Go through the pedestrian lights, almost immediately and then turn
right at the junction lights into Bridge Street. It will be signposted
Nottingham and the station probably. You then turn second right into
Rectory Place and follow the road round. It becomes narrower and quite
leafy. The Parish church is the third driveway on the left.
From Leicester
Take the A6 towards
Loughborough from Leicester. Keep on the A6 following signs for town centre
into the town. This involves taking the exit of a roundabout near Quorn and
ignoring the second exit, which also says Loughborough. Follow the A6 into
town; past the cemetery entrance on your left and straight on at the lights,
past the Loughborough Endowed School, through two more sets of junction
lights. The shops now start to build up. Go across the next lights with
Geoff Toys on your far left-hand side and then take the next right into
Baxter Gate, with Denham the Jewellers on your right hand side. At the next
junction turn left into Lemyngton Street and then take the next right into
Church Gate and first left into Steeple Row and the church entrance is fist
driveway on your right.
From Nottingham and the A60
Follow the A6 into
Loughborough up and over the railway bridge. Continue straight on at the
lights and up and over the canal bridge. Continue up the hill, Nottingham
Road, through two sets of junction lights and then follow the road round to
the right past the Beacon Bingo Hall on your right. After you have turned
to the right take the next right into Church Gate and first left into
Steeple Row and the church entrance is first driveway on your right.
Parking
The nearest large car
park is the Rushes Car Park on the A6
Carry on to the end of
Steeple Row, turn left onto Bridge Street, the Rushes Shopping Centre will
be on your left but the Car Park entrance is on the A6 end also called The
Rushes. At the end of Bridge Street turn left onto The Rushes and the car
part entrance is on the left.
Alternatively retrace
to Beacon Bingo and at the traffic lights turn right onto Sparrow Hill and
follow the road round onto Pinfold Gate and there is an open-air car park on
the right.
