Many thanks to Market Harborough Table Tennis Club who have installed new LED strip lights which give a brighter light and save on running costs. The lower sections of the wall in the main hall have been painted light blue, which will improve the visibility of the white table tennis balls. The Community Hall also has a new website www.langtoncommunityhall.org. The website will be actively manged and includes a daily calendar as well as advertising for future events such as the Phoenix Community Cinema. Phoenix Community Cinema Presents “Victoria & Abdul” (PG) Langton Community Hall, Church Langton 7.30pm Friday 13th April £5 on the door Featuring Judy Dench & Ali Fazal An Indian clerk named Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) travels to London to present Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) with a ceremonial coin for her Golden Jubilee. The pair form an unexpected bond upon meeting, but the lifelong friendship that develops is threatened by the disapproval of Victoria's inner circle. As the Queen contemplates what her life of service has meant and the restrictions it has placed on her, Abdul brings her joy as he indulges her fascination with the country she rules over from half a world away.

The church is a big attraction to our village so to support the replacement of the aisle roofs could you be involved in the above? Your garden doesn't have to be big, pristine, neat and tidy. Perhaps you could bake a cake, host the Ice Cream Stall or organise a children's competition? Are you arty or own a business? You could use it as an opportunity to sell/promote you wares. Never been to a village Open Garden event? Every year mainly in June/July, the villages of Leicestershire/Northampton and Britain open their gardens to people. Choose one to visit this year to see how popular these events are. It's not just about gardening, it's about coming together for village community life. INTERESTED? WANT TO KNOW MORE?

We are in the process of applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund for a large grant to- wards the replacement of stolen lead to the north and south aisle roofs with terne coated stainless steel. As part of the first stage to- ward applying for the grant, we have sub- mitted to HLF a Project Enquiry form; this, we learnt recently was positively received. This means that they will look favourably at our project providing we meet all the criteria laid down by them once we have submitted our application. This is a very lengthy process which has required the need to approach local people from the three villages that St. Peter’s serves, East and West Langton as well as Church Langton to help us; this has been enthusiastically received, the team came together and met in January to discuss how they can help. HLF will only give grants that benefit the Heritage of the Community, they do not exist for repairing buildings! If we should be successful in receiving the total grant for which we have applied, this will leave a shortfall which we can hopefully achieve by apply- ing for smaller grants and fund raising. To this end, two groups from that initial meeting have been formed to get the ball rolling! The Churchyard group have met, listed ideas for Activities and planned curriculum ideas for the school. This is currently being drafted on the HLF Project Plan Template. The Church interpretation group have met and formed ideas. The length of time until the Capital Project work can begin has been extended as we are waiting for the Bat Trust to get back to us for a survey. However, it is likely we will need a full scoping survey which cannot be undertaken until the bats are active in May, then we would have to apply and wait for a Bat Licence. Fundraising ideas are being put forward and two events are planned already. On Saturday 21st April in the Langton Community Hall, there will be a talk entitled ‘Canapés and Concorde’, a presentation about Concorde by former Chief Pilot John Hutchinson. On Saturday 5th May there will be a concert in the Church. The PCC welcomes ideas and contributions to our project, so please email us if you wish to find out more. Email address [email protected] If you feel that this is something you can support financially, please send your donation to Brook House, Stonton Road, Church Langton, LE16 7SZ. (Cheques made payable to ‘Church Langton PCC’ to ‘Saving St Peter’s’) Donation envelopes are also available inside church which is open during daylight hours.

  • 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 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.

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.

    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.
