Other items that can be seen inside the Cathedral include 14th century wooden carved figures, each “afflicted” with some kind of illness. One has a medieval hearing aid, while another is suffering from sore shoulders. A church dedicated to St Martin has been on the site for about 900 years, being first recorded in 1086 when the older Saxon church was replaced by a Norman one.[1][2] The present building dates to about that age, with the addition of a spire and various restorations throughout the years.[6][9] Most of what can be seen today is a Victorian restoration by architect Raphael Brandon.[9] The cathedral of the former Anglo-Saxon diocese of Leicester was on a different site.
