It is a Grade I listed building. Parts of the transept date from c. 1200, and parts of the aisles from the late 13th century. Most of the church was rebuilt in Perpendicular style c. 1444, under William Alnwick, the Bishop of Lincoln. The west tower, which is 108 feet (33 m) high, was built at that time. There was a Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott in 1860, and another in 1881 by George Edmund Street. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Margaret%27s_Church,_Leicester
