Church Langton: St Peter
St Peter’s church is set in the village of Church Langton, in south Leicestershire, near to the town of Market Harborough. Worship is Anglican (Church of England). We use the ‘Common Worship’ red book for our services. St Peter’s is part of the Launde Minster Community in the Diocese of Leicester. The church serves three villages in its parish, East Langton, West Langton and Church Langton village itself.
The building is managed day-to-day by its PCC – or Parochial Church Council. We do not have our own priest but we have the support of the Area Deans for Launde Minster Community and of local retired clergy who help the PCC with services and pastoral care for its parishioners and wider church family. We are a friendly and welcoming team who enjoy meeting visitors.
Eco Church – St Peter’s has recently joined the Eco Church project, with the aim to improve the building and reduce its carbon footprint and to develop processes that better serve the wider environment.
Important: The church offers handwashing facilities and drinking water, but no WC at this point in time.

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.
