News from the School Road Chapel

Maundy Thursday 14 April 

This church, a remarkably tall church, stands proudly on the hill in Church Langton. With its grey ashlar tower it visibly dominates the skyline in almost every direction. Indeed, its perpendicular style of architecture is typical for the area. Parts of the church below the tower date from the late 13th Century. (Imagine this church with a spire atop the tower! Then read on) It really is well worth a visit.

'Seeking the Kingdom of God'

Why do our three local churches share one website?

The Wistow estate was bought by the Halford family in 1603. The Hall was built for Richard Halford, who was High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1621 and a prominent Royalist during the Civil War. He was made a baronet by King Charles I in 1641 after having been imprisoned (and then released) by the Parliamentarians. King Charles slept at Wistow the night before the Battle of Naseby.
