Langton Long: All Saints

Langton was erected in 1862 to the design of TH Wyatt.The most interesting item brought from the old Church is the memorial brass to John Whitewood and his two wives, Joan (1457) and Alice (1467 -). The space reserved for his own death was never filled in.Langton has a bell chamber with three bells, one of which is thought to be pre-Reformation. There are 10 fine stained glass windows.The organ was built by Henry James of Fulham Road, London and the only other example of such an organ in this area is at Salisbury Cathedral.The altar cloths came from Norfolk Cathedral.Langton is a small parish but extends to encompass about 2,000 souls living on the far side of the ring road from the Church, going into the edges of Blandford Forum.We are a small community but, we think, a very generous one and welcome visitors and new members of the congregation very warmly.
