The Church of St. Peter in Langford Budville, Somerset, England dates from the 15th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

The red sandstone church has the capacity for about 150 people,[2] including the north aisle which was added in 1866 to accommodate worshippers from Binden House.[3]

The tower was added in 1509 [4][5] and the south aisle soon afterwards. The church was restored in 1846 and the north aisle added in 1866. The vestry and organ chamber were added in 1873.[1] The tower holds five bells which were re-hung as part of the refurbishment in the 1990s,[2] which also included repairs to the roof and stonework.[6] There is a War Memorial in the form of a brass plaque.[7]

Until 1863 Langford Budville was a chapelry of Milverton, and in 1930 Runnington was united with the benefice.[1]

The parish is within the Wellington and district benefice which is part of the Tone deanery.[8]
