Four miles north of Market Harborough lies the small village of Thorpe Langton, whose name translates to ‘long town’ in Anglo-Saxon. During the early 19th century, the census records indicated a population of 215 individuals residing in the village in 1821. This figure gradually declined to 83 by 1881 but has since experienced a modest resurgence, with a recorded population of 231 as per the 2021 census.

The Cook Islands welcome and lead us for the World Day of Prayer 2025. This year it is on Friday 7 March. The Cook Islands is a group of 15 Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. It has a rich and colourful Maori heritage and a deep connection to nature. Join with us as we pray, learn and reflect together on the theme ‘I made you wonderful’.

We are delighted to announce a very special fundraising concert that will take place at St Wilfrid’s Church in Kibworth on Friday 28 February. Frontiers Trio features three superb professional musicians who live locally. They are David Le Page – violin, Mark Ashford – guitar, and Nick Stringfellow – cello.

Wishing you all every joy and blessing for this New Year, 2025. But as well as personal health and happiness, may it also be a year when everybody strives to make things better for Kibworth and the surrounding villages.

Come and celebrate with us this Christmas! St Andrew’s has traditional services and is hosting events too.
