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 along with contemporary approaches to prayer and worship. Visitors and enquirers are always welcomed by our friendly congregation and leadership.

We are rapidly moving through 2026, which is an important year in the long life of St Peter's: Despite centuries of history there is no guarantee of a secure future for this place of worship. In the end we ask you to play some part in our survival (in God's purposes) - if you have never been through the door, consider visiting and if not for a service, just to look around to get a sense of the place. Regular Worship Our normal worship services take place on the first and third Sundays of each month at 10:30am. Please see the calendar for more information. We understand the demands of life today, but this haven of peace, beauty and spirituality is a place to cherish. It offers somewhere to sense the presence of God and to learn quietly together what faith has to offer for each of us. We are a very mixed group of people, always happy to welcome new faces. However, if you just choose to sit quietly at the back at first, that is fine by us. 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 made aware of safeguarding matters and are subject to DBS checks. https://www.stpaulsweb.org.uk/safeguarding.htm If you have any concerns, please contact: Julie Swales – Parish Safeguarding Officer, St Pauls, Chippenham Joy Morland – St Peter's Safeguarding person, at Langley Burrell For other information about St Paul's, visit the website: www.stpaulsweb.org.uk/welcome.htm Rector: Revd.
