Ride and Stride at St Peter’s

Posted on 19/08/2026 by St Peter's Church, Church Langton, Leicestershire

Saturday 12th September 2026

Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. Taking place on the second Saturday of September the funds raised can be split between the nominated Trust and the participants chosen church or chapel.

As ever Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds to support Grant applications from churches and chapels across the county.

St Peter’s is delighted to be taking part again this year – so look forward to welcoming you on foot, bike or hoof! If you are a bicycle or horse rider or a walker (Shanks’s pony?!), you would be most welcome to join this lovely event, which benefits so many churches locally and around the country.

Our fellow churches, St Andrew’s at Tur Langton and St Leonard’s at Thorpe Langton are also taking part so you can enjoy all three.

Discover all the churches registered and plan your route for the day. Visit the Leicestershire section of the Churches Trust website here, to download the full list throughout the county.

St. Peter’s tall 14th century tower is an imposing landmark in the rolling hills of South
Leicestershire. This magnificent Grade 2* church is just off the A6 on the B6047. Church Langton is on the Leicestershire Round with several other footpaths leading to the village and along with the surrounding Langtons has one of three pleasant country pubs offering Sunday lunch.

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.

Access / Toilets

No formal wheelchair access and some uneven ground in churchyard. No toilet facilities inside church. All of these issues are the reasons why we’re desperate to raise funds!
