History
An independent congregational group was established in the early nineteenth century in St. James' Church, Standard Hill and were soon large enough to look for their own premises. The foundation was laid in June 1882 and Park Hill Congregational Church opened for worship in June 1883. The architects were James Tait and John Langham of Leicester.
In 1972 the congregation joined the United Reformed Church but by 1979 the church was closed.
The building was then acquired by the Greek Orthodox Church.
Organ
The church had a pipe organ by Bishop and Son dating from 1884 which was rebuilt by Roger Yates in the 1934. The organ was re-opened on Monday 22 October 1934 by Marcel Dupré.
