Cinema in the Langtons presents ‘One Life’ (12A), starring Sir Anthony Hopkins as Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, the man who rescued hundreds of children from Czechoslovakia, fleeing imminent invasion and occupation by Nazi Forces. This remarkable story is one not to be missed. Join us at Tuesday 18th June, at the Community Hall, 7:30pm, Tickets on the Door £8.00 – All proceeds to support St Peter’s Church, for which we are most grateful.
Full details from Roz Folwell see below…
We were delighted to welcome over 50 people to the service of Remembrance at the weekend. The church was decorated beautifully by our team of flower arrangers and we were thrilled to display a Poppy Collage made by the children from Church Langton School. Rev Martin gave a moving address including mention of the crucifix of nails made after the bombing of Coventry in World War II. Wreaths for the local men who lost their lives in World War I and II were blessed and then taken to the War Memorial on the village green.
We wish to thank everyone who donated on the day and online to our collection for the Royal British Legion. We raised £209.00 which is winging its way to the Harborough branch as we write this. This is our best year yet so we can’t thank you enough for your generous support for this wonderful cause.
Enjoy the photographs of the church taken by Alison Thurlby.

Details of the Remembrance Sunday service for the Langton villages will be announced soon, but as this year’s Poppy Appeal is launched this week, we want help you to support any way you can.
THE 2023/24 POPPY APPEAL STARTS IN OCTOBER:
National Launch Thursday 26th October until 11th November. Poppy sales in all outlets from Thursday 26th. You can donate directly to the Royal British Legion here.
Members of our community in the Langtons come together like so many across the country, to remember the sacrifice made by our service men and women in the conflicts and wars in the world. At our Remembrance service, all proceeds kindly donated in the service at
St Peter’s support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
This year, for the first time, we can offer secure online donations, so that you can make a contribution even if you can’t attend the service.
All the money we raise goes to the Harborough branch of the Royal British Legion, so has a local connection for supporters based in this area. You can read more about the Harborough branch on their website here on this link.
