The West End comes to Church Langton!

Musical Concert held at St. Peter’s Church, Church Langton

A packed St. Peter’s witnessed a spectacular concert on Saturday 5th May when the audience were entertained by Janette Munroe and Il Destino, a duo made up of Jon Christos and Adam Lacey; they were supported by the choir of Church Langton Primary School.  The concert was in aid of the church roof appeal due to the three thefts of lead last year; approximately £2,600 was raised.

Janette, Jon and Adam are professional artists with a wealth of experience around the world, singing with other top artists including shows on Broadway and the West End. They truly brought the West End to Church Langton with song from top musicals, films and other popular works.  The choir of Church Langton too, were wonderful and in very fine voice, not at all fazed by the occasion, thanks to the hard work of their musical teacher Alan Kirkland. 

Thanks must go to Peter Oppenheimer and his team ‘The Village People’ who organised the event, along with members of the P.C.C. The sponsor of the event, Un.titled and all who made this such a memorable occasion.

Discovery walk – Aug 2019

We were delighted to explore the churchyard with a Discovery Walk – All manner of wildlife birds, insects, fungi and plants were found on a lovely summer’s afternoon. Everyone really enjoyed this activity and we plan to host more at different times of the year to experience the different seasons. The photos tell the story very well – We can’t wait to do this again!

Heritage Talks – July 2019

Heritage Open Days and Festival of Archaeology

We were delighted to launch our Visitors Guide and host two events at St Peter’s on 10th July.

We had tours of the church and a talk with demonstration of how the roofing work was undertaken given by our conservation architect Bryan Martin and contractor Shaun Ward of Prestige Metal Roofing. The 60 visitors we had throughout the day, were very pleased with the Visitor’s Guide and tour and were especially impressed with Bryan and Shaun and how skilled Shaun is at hand working the lead.
