Tur Langton: St Andrew
Welcome to St Andrew's Tur Langton Leicestershire.
St Andrew's is an extremely fine and imposing Victorian church built in 1866, by Joseph Goddard of Leicester. The church is described in Pevsner’s Architectural Guide for Leicestershire, as the most individualistic church in the County, being an exuberant example of high Victorian, in the Early English style.
We are a small, relaxed congregation, with two regular monthly services: Evensong and either an All Ages Service or Holy Communion.

Shangton: St Nicholas
Welcome to the parish church of Shangton. Our quiet little village lies some 10 miles south-east of Leicester has never had a large population and like so many around east Leicestershire it has plenty of charm. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book and was thought to be part of a bequest to Burton Abbey (Staffs) in 1002-04. The population in Shangton decreased markedly in the 17th century, probably due to enclosure. In 1639 Francis Saunders was fined £160 for ‘depopulation and conversion of houses and lands’ in Shangton. The small church of St Nicholas stands to the south of the village overlooking a stream. The majority of our church - the chancel, north vestry, west bell tower, south porch and nave - date from the 13th century.
