Langtons' and District Newsletter Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring Edition 2020 February Fill Dyke An old saying goes, "February fill dyke, be black or be it white; Be it white, 'tis better to like." This roughly means that rain and snow are both welcome in February, although snow is preferable. Well it’s certainly been black this year. Harborough District Council are encouraging parish councils to put in place Community Response Plans in the event of an incident such as severe weather. Tur Langton Parish Council has theirs and East Langton Parish Council’s is nearly completed (see p 7). The plan provides a guide as to how and where the local community may support the Emergency services in terms of information and providing predetermined resources where appropriate. Let’s hope we never have to use it. Keep safe. Roz Folwell Stonton Wyville taken by G. Devereaux-Batchelor Printed by Omniprint, Market Harborough 1 2 Church Langton CE (AIDED) Primary School Young Voices The pupils in years five and six were very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform as part of a six thousand strong choir at the Young Voices concert at the Birmingham Arena. Supported by a very keen team of teachers, the children sang with a wide range of acts including Tony Hadley and alongside street dance group Urban Sounds. This is part of our ongoing opportunities for the pupils to take part in musical performances to different audiences. As part of the Spark Festival, a celebration of the arts taking place in Leicester during February, we were delighted to welcome an IndoJazz band to perform to the children. The band introduced their different instruments and explained the role they play in creating the wonderful music performed to the audience. Instruments included some which the pupils can learn at school like drums and saxophone and other instruments that were new to them like the tabla. A big thank you to Mrs Pemberton, one of our art technicians for organising the performance and to Friends of Church Langton School who funded the experience for the pupils. Communion service We have been delighted to be able to hold our Communion service at St Peter’s Church this academic year. This term it was the turn of year two to act as servers and share their learning as part of the service. It has been wonderful to see the church full with parents, grandparents and toddlers joining in. A big thank you to Rev Rosie and Rev Jonathan who have been leading our worship and to all the staff who have helped to prepare the pu- pils. 3 Christmas Past Grange Farm Christmas Barn Two charities benefitted from visitors to Grange Farm Christmas Barn, Thorpe Langton. There is no charge to visit Santa but donations in lieu of this to LOROS, amounted to £1800. A further generous donation of £200 made the total of £2000 sent to LOROS. The Owl Experience (Bird in the Hand) raised £451 for the Air Ambulance. Grateful thanks for your support. For the last 10 years or so, many people have enjoyed seeing Dorcas the donkey, but sadly she has died recently aged 30+ years. Thanks to Pat from Lubbenham, who has allowed us to have her every December for the children's enjoyment. Hopefully we can find a replacement. Joyce & Richard. Barbara’s Coffee Morning Many consider Barbara’s Coffee Morning as the beginning of Christmas. It started when she first moved to Stonton Wyville in 2005. St. Denys’s needed a new hoover and a coffee morning was arranged to raise the £110.85 required to buy a Henry. The coffee morning provided the exact amount and it is still working. The Christmas coffee mornings continued and after 15 years £5,747.55 has been raised by Barbara for the church. Last year’s event enabled £460 to be donated to much needed funds. She would like to thank all those who attended and who donated the delicious mince pies. 4 5 HanburyKindergarten is a purpose-built pre-school in the beautiful rural setting of Church Langton. We have an experienced staff team who are dedicated to supporting young children to achieve their potential and to develop a love of learning through discovery, exploration and play. We are now able to take children from 2 years old. If you would like to know more or, even better, to visit us and see for yourself, then please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible to arrange a visit.

LE8 9GS. 07763177707 [email protected] Website - https://www.eastlangtonpc.org.uk Community Response Plan Following the recent severe weather, it has been reported in the media that rural villages are being neglected by Parish Councils. East Langton Parish Council has been working with LCC and HDC on a Community Response Plan. We have nearly completed the Plan but we require help with the following skills and resources: first aid, electricians, plumbers tractor, 4X4 vehicle, chainsaws, catering facilities, heating units, transport The plan provides a guide as to how and where the local community may support the Emergency services in terms of information and providing predetermined resources where appropriate. If you can help please contact the Clerk. More information can be found on the website. ELPC are grateful to those who helped during the recent bad weather. Budget / Precept for 2020/21 It was resolved to adopt a budget of £5,865 (£8,529 including Lightsource Funding) and a precept of £5,277.00. This is a 5% increase on the precept from 19/20-year, 5.3% increase in Council Tax for a Band D property from £28.41 to £29.91 Details of the breakdown of the budget for 2019/20 can be seen on the Parish Council’s website at https://www.eastlangtonpc.org.uk/finance.html Diocesan Field, Old School Walk, Church Langton As I write this I am sorry to have to report that our tender for the rent of the Diocesan field behind Old School Walk, Church Langton has not been successful and that it has gone to a higher bidder. We wrote to the Bishop’s office and were told the Diocesan Board of Education, who own the land, are a registered charity and have the legal duty “ to advance the objects of the charity and therefore to invest any assets, such as land which is not requires for operational purposes, in order to achieve the best income to support the charity’s work.” We are grateful to Phil King, (HDC), Sarah Hill (LCC) and Neil O’Brien (MP) and the residents of Church Langton for all their support. Dog Bins Two litter/dog bins have been ordered and paid for by the Parish and are awaiting fitting in East and Church Langton. Bus Stop Hardstanding Church Causeway The Parish Council have been working hard to get this hardstanding and are very pleased Leicestershire County Council Highways have paid for and installed it. Parish Council Meetings - Meetings take place at the Langton Community Hall and are open to the public. Agendas are available on the Parish website, Parish Noticeboards or from the Clerk. The first Wednesday of every month, alternating Full Parish Council Meetings with Planning Application Meetings (if required). 7 8 Bell Ringing at St. Peter’s It was lovely to hear St. Peter’s bells rung at 2.30pm on New Year’s Day. A quarter peal (1250 changes taking 45 minutes) was rung by ringers from Market Harborough. On 26th January an itinerant group of ringers from Tilton rang for the morning service. They will be ringing again for the service on Sunday 15th March. We had a very good talk about Loughborough Bellfoundry at our Leicestershire Industrial History Society meeting recently. When the Whitechapel bellfoundry closed in 2017, Loughborough became the last major bell foundry in Britain. After 150 years of severe wear and tear the site is in a perilous condition so the Trust is working with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and hopes to secure final approval for a grant of £3.8m in 2020 to contribute towards a package of £5m+ repairs. However, it needs to raise £1.1m from other sources to secure the Lottery grant. They need urgent support to do this. Cheques should be made payable to The Loughborough Bellfoundry Trust and sent to Mr D Potter, Trustee, The Bell Foundry, Freehold Street, Loughborough, LE11 1AR stating that the funds are for the ‘Saving the last major Bellfoundry in Britain’ project. RF St. Leonard’s, Thorpe Langton Services On Sunday 1st March (St David's Day) Canon Brian Davis will be leading a Welcome Service, for newcom- ers to the village but, of course, everyone is invited. Can- on Davis says, "it will be an informal, lively service with well known hymns and songs, lasting about 40 minutes. All ages welcome and catered for". The service is at 6 p.m. on 1st March. Followed by refreshments. March 22nd is Mothering Sunday. There will be an All-age Service at 10.30 am at St Leonard's, Thorpe Langton, when there will be an opportunity for children to present their mothers, and other ladies in the congregation, with flowers. Our Area Dean, Rev'd Canon Alison Booker will lead this service.

  • Church Langton Settlement Profile Introduction
    Church Langton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Church Langton village (lying north) along with East Langton village (lying south) both constitute the civil parish of East Langton (hereby referred to as ‘Church Langton’), as well as both being part of five villages known collectively as ‘the Langtons’ (with Tur Langton to the north, West Langton to the west, and Thorpe Langton to the East). Beyond the parish’s borders with other Langton villages, the village also borders Great Bowden to the south and Stonton Wyville to the north-east. Church Langton lies 5 miles north of Market Harborough, and 4 miles east of Kibworth with the A6 passing less than 1 mile south of the parish. The 13th century-constructed Church of St Peter is the parish’s most distinguished feature; a collegiate-type church of strikingly large proportions that sits 400ft above sea-level whilst also forming the parish’s historic separation. Overall, the parish is linear in form, stretching for almost 2 miles (north-south), with most community services and facilities being centrally located. East Langton is separated from Church Langton by Langton Road that dissects the parish into a northerly and southerly area. Langton Brook runs west-east through the southern tip of the parish, before joining the River Welland to the east. The East Midlands Trains line also crosses the southerly tip of the parish in a similar movement. The village of Church Langton is identified as a Selected Rural Village in the Core Strategy and as such, is outlined as a settlement that would potentially benefit from the support of limited development such as rural housing.

  • Langtons' and District Newsletter
    Langtons’ and District Newsletter Spring So What Happened to Edition the Christmas Edition 2019 of the Newsletter? Well, I was just finishing laying up the edition when I slipped and fell in the garden resulting in a three and a half hour operation to put a rod in my B6047 Tur Langton right tibia leaving the fibia to find its own way back from the twist fractures I had sustained. I have to thank the surgeon’s and staff at the Royal Infirmary for the excellent care I received during my ten day stay and to all those who sent best wishes for my recovery. I’d also like to thank Sue Lambert for her help delivering the Newsletter in Thorpe Langton after she took over from Irene Ward, and for the news items she sent me over the years. We wish her well in her new home. Talking about new homes, I’d like to welcome, on behalf of the Langton Community Hall Committee, all the new residents that have just moved into Church Langton. We have had quite a number of families move into the village and we hope they settle in well and join in the community activities. Being ’out of commission’ showed how the magazine really needs help in the process of contacting advertisers and contributors, writing up articles and laying up etc. We also need someone to deliver the Newsletter in Thorpe Langton. If you think you can spare a little time every three months please let me know. And when you have an event you’re planning and have held, don’t forget to advertise and take photos to let us know what’s happening in the district.
