As we said, the site is now occupied by the Hawthorn Building of de Montfort University, although these two original arches have been integrated.

Here is an article from de Montfort themselves about a 3D model of the Church, including notes of two Duchesses of Lancaster and Lady Mary Hervey, governess to Henry IV’s children, who was later moved to Trinity Church.
