 Tour of St. Peter’s Church, Church Langton

 30th June 2026 | Churches, What's On

Sunday 12 & 19 July: at 1.30pm

Join our guided tour of the church. Find out why St. Peter’s came to host the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in a parish church.

Victorian renovations resulted in the elaborate carvings on the pews and

pulpit and a reredos in the chancel which is an alabaster representation of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.

Tickets: Adults £5, children FREE. No booking required. Cream Teas available.
