Roman Monument meets Modernism

Sharing Leicester’s Roman Heritage in a Brutalist Icon – The Restoration Story of Leicester’s Jewry Wall Museum

Join Maber (Architects) and Haley Sharpe (Interpretative Designers) on a guided walk through the renovated Jewry Wall Museum. Participants will gain insights into the creative and conservation challenges encountered, the interplay between the restored architecture, new immersive exhibits and Roman remains, as well as exploring the collaborative delivery model required to bring this once tired brutalist site into the heart of the City’s cultural offering.

Guided walk round the updated site with Q&A session. Approx 1.5 hrs.

After exploring the renovation, we will decamp across Jubilee Square to Wygeston's House for a drink. You are welcome to join the LRSA monthly meeting to find out more about what our local volunteers are doing in the region to promote architectural excellence, and get involved in Love Architecture 2026.

The Jewry Wall is the tallest surviving section of Roman masonry in Britain. Dating back to around AD 160, it is a key part of a public bathhouse complex. This Grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument is managed by Leicester City Council's Arts & Museums Service (Leicester Museums & Galleries) on behalf of English Heritage, ensuring its protection and preservation against unauthorised changes.
