Jain Centre - Chaple to Temple What we know today as Leicester's Jain Centre started life in 1863 as a Congregational Chapel (an independent church). This area around Oxford Street was developed in the mid-19th Century and, along with shops, houses, pubs and factories, places of worship were built. By the 1960s however, people had moved out of the city centre to the suburbs. With its congregation gone, the chapel eventually closed in the 1970s. In 1988 the building became the Jain Centre.
