To celebrate Longcot Church's 800th anniversary this year, there is to be a spectacular Christmas Concert featuring the 50 voices of the award-winning Wessex Male Choir at St Mary’s Church on Friday 16th December. The concert, like many events in Longcot, was the brainchild of Dr John Forster, who, despite being diagnosed with cancer, continued to throw himself into the village’s fund raising efforts to support our Longcot 800 campaign to transform the church into a multi-purpose community facility with kitchen & toilet facilities so it can host meetings, events and activities as well as regular services. One of John’s last requests before he sadly passed away in August was that the church roof will be well and truly raised on 16th December. We very much hope to see you there.

(Comedy, Drama, Romance - 2016) Beautiful young widow, Lady Susan Vernon, visits the estate of her in-laws to wait out the colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and a future for her eligible but reluctant daughter, Frederica. In doing so she attracts the simultaneous attentions of the young, handsome Reginald DeCourcy, the rich and silly Sir James Martin and the divinely handsome, but married, Lord Manwaring, complicating matters severely. Director: Whit Stillman Writer: Jane Austen (based on her novella "Lady Susan"), Whit Stillman Stars: Kate Beckinsdale, Choe Sevigny, Xavier Samuel Blockbuster Nights @ The Regent Cinema, The Corn Exchange, Faringdon.
