Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day


Poppies to remember

“When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”

— John Maxwell Edmonds

Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day are especially important this year as we remember everyone who has given so much in continued difficult times.

Remembrance Sunday Service – in St Peter’s Church

This year our service will be held on in church, which we are so pleased to announce and we hope as many people as possible will join us.

The service starts at 10.30am and the collection will be in aid of Royal British Legion

Afterwards a wreath will be laid at the war memorial where we hope you can join us as well.


Cream teas 2021

Update and funds raised

The Cream Teas have now finished for the year.  Thanks to all who supported us through out the Summer and a big, big thank you to all the helpers. 

It was decided because of the Covid Pandemic to move the Cream Teas to the Langton Community Hall in order that folks had access to toilet facilities and washing of hands. Whilst the Community Hall was lovely, it was not without it’s difficulties and folks did miss the atmosphere of the Church, even though it was warmer!

The total raised after expenses was £1,146.00. This will go towards the upkeep of the building, many thanks once more, see you next year!

Thank you!
