Wikipedia's article on Jainism in the United Kingdom, community-edited. Reliable for the standard chronology of the Leicester Jain community: the Jain Samaj Leicester formed in 1973 as East African Jains arrived after the 1972 Idi Amin expulsion, the Shilanyas foundation-stone ceremony of 10 November 1983, and the permanent installation ceremony of 8 to 23 July 1988 that made the Leicester temple the first fully consecrated Jain temple in the Western world; not the right source for population figures earlier than the cited 2021 census.
