From the Wikipedia article
St Mary de Castro is a medieval Grade I listed church in Leicester, England, located within the bailey of Leicester Castle. It is a Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Leicester. De Castro is Latin for 'of the Castle'; to differentiate it from the nearby St Mary de Pratis; 'St Mary of the Meadows'. The building was closed to the public from 2011to 2015 after the spire was found to be unsafe and was dismantled. The tower has lacked a spire since then, as funds are insufficient to repair the tower and replace the spire.
