Welcome to the website of St Peter's, Langley Burrell, an ancient Anglican church set in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. It is one of three churches in the Greenways Group, Chippenham, along with St Paul's and St Nicholas. Each church differs in its style and expression and as we work together we seek to draw on the strength of each. We are worshipping Christian churches, rooted in the Gospel and serving the community.
St Peter's is in the diocese of Bristol, whose mission statement defines our sense of purpose: "To be a community of wholeness with Christ at the centre."
This means we are outward-looking and inclusive, while retaining traditional Christian beliefs. At St Peter's the value of our inheritance is acknowledged and we intend to retain the best from the past, but also be responsive to the changing world in which we live. Our regular Sunday services contain elements of traditional liturgy in an accessible form and we also have monthly all-age services which are more informal and appealing to families with children. Visitors and enquirers are always welcomed by our friendly congregation and leadership.

2022 : Latest News From 2 January 2022 worship services will take place on the first and third Sundays of each month at 10:30am. Please see the calendar for more information. A CHURCH FOR THE COMMUNITY? If you are part of the local community how would you feel if your parish church had to close through lack of support? Well, that is something we are determined to avoid, but the reality is that too few people are coming along for services or offering to take some responsibility for essential tasks. We understand the demands of life today, but this haven of peace and beauty is a place to cherish, and its people offer a warm welcome. More than that, it offers a place to sense the presence of God and to learn quietly what faith has to offer for each of us. So taste and see, you might wonder why you did not come sooner!
