St Mary The Virgin Langley

St Mary’s Langley was built in 1890, it is small with a seating capacity of 40. A striking feature of the church is the Epiphany window. The church has an unusual status, due to it being built and financed by the Torre Trust – it is dedicated and not consecrated. The Torre Trust exists to provide maintenance and insurance of the building whilst it is being used for divine service.  The church hall is on the same site and dates from about 1880 and is run by the Langley Village Amenities Association under the supervision of the PCC. Until recently it was used for serving refreshments after services, harvest supper and for social and fundraising events.  Having recently undergone extensive renovation we anticipate its reopening during the first half of 2025.
