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.

Remembrance 2020
There will be a small Remembrance event in the middle of the village (from a private garden) on Sunday at 11 am, when the Last Post will be sounded, with reveille. If you wish to be there full personal separation must be maintained and respect for current Covid regulations. Safeguarding: Our group of churches is fully committed to its safeguarding responsibilities for all, but especially children and vulnerable adults. All its officers are regularly trained in safeguarding matters and are subject to DBS checks. If you have any concerns, please contact: Julie Swales – Parish Safeguarding Officer, St Paul, Chippenham – 07342907700 Joy Morland – Parish Safeguarding Officer, St Peter’s, Langley Burrell – 01249-656265 November 2020 : Services suspended due to Covid-19 regulations It is not long since the Greenways Group of Churches welcomed people back into our buildings. Clearly, things remained far from 'normal' due to safeguarding restrictions as defined by Government, but meeting with at least some of the church family was very welcome. Unfortunately, due to Government restrictions these services cannot continue, although a resumption is anticipated on Sunday 6 December. In the meantime, please keep praying and caring for each other. And watch this space!
