The PCC decided to fly the flag today as a tribute to and remember, everyone lost in New York and Washington twenty years ago on this day. It was a tragedy that changed the world forever. It will fly again tomorrow for our Service of Thanksgiving to remember everyone here in our community who we lost in the past eighteen months, along with those in the rest of the country and the wider world. This too, feels like a tragedy that will change the world forever.
We shall never forget.

12th and 19th September 2021
St. Peter’s, Church Langton
Stonton Road, Church Langton, Market Harborough, Leicestershire LE16 7SZ
Join our guided tour of the church, highlighting the architectural and historical features. St. Peter’s hosted the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in a parish church.
St. Peter’s is the Mother Church of The Langtons, dating back to Norman times and was possibly an Anglo Saxon minster. This medieval church, of amazing proportions has so much heritage of interest dating from the late 13th and early 14th centuries with the tower, clerestory and nave arcades, the work of the 15th century.
Rector William Hanbury organised the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in a Parish Church in England in St Peter’s on 27th September 1759.
Victorian renovations resulted in the elaborate carvings on the pews and pulpit and a reredos in the chancel which is an alabaster representation of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.
