We are very excited about the Coronation and the church is decorated ready. Huge thanks to Sue for working her floral magic and to Maxine J for the photos. Here’s the entrance to the church, why not come and see them and take a look inside too!
Meanwhile, how about sending your photos from this momentous weekend to post on our website gallery? You can email or post on our Facebook page. It should be a memorable weekend!
God save the King! 🇬🇧
There were some fine days at the end of January and our photographers and artists were out and about capturing some marvelous views.
Here are the images with thanks to everyone who generously shared their photos and cheered us all up!
If you have photos, drawings, paintings of our beautiful countryside, villages and views of St Peter’s, St Andrews and St Leonards’s that you would like to share on our gallery, please get in touch either on Facebook, or by emailing us on info@churchlangton.org.uk, we would love to hear from you!
65 singers from choirs across Leicester and Leicestershire, the Knighton Chamber Orchestra and four soloists, former Leicester University students, were conducted by Dr. Paul Jenkins. The audience in the almost full church were mesmerised by the beauty and volume of the music which resonated outside to nearby residents.
The performance completes the National Lottery Heritage Activities for the grant work to repair the roofs as well as raising £3,252.85 and after expenses, £1,403.64 for St. Peter’s (much better than William Hanbury did—he couldn’t afford to pay the orchestra!)
Thanks to all who gave their support especially the volunteers from the PCC for preparing the church and at the concert, and Roz Folwell for her leadership and commitment to the event.
Barry Barnes, Secretary to the PCC of Church Langton.
