Lathbury Manor
Following the closure of Lathbury Manor Care Home, the building was put on the market on July 7th by estate agents Walker Singleton.

The Parish Meeting Committee is keeping a close watch on this. We will publish updates as and when there is news on the purchaser and their plans for the building.
We have asked our ward councillors to ensure that any planning application for change of use will be considered by the MKCC Planning Committee and not be delegated to officers for a decision.

All Saints Church
The church plays an important part in many aspects of village life.
All Saints Church in Lathbury is a Grade 1 listed building and one of the oldest churches in North Buckinghamshire, with parts dating back to the early 12th century. It has medieval wall paintings, historic texts, a restored clock, and a stained-glass window.
The church is an important part of village life, hosting monthly services as well as weddings, baptisms and funerals. The local community has raised funds over the years to help preserve the building. The church is also a popular wedding venue, seating around 110 people and featuring historic bells and an organ.
You are entitled to marry here if either you or your partner lives in Lathbury, Newport Pagnell or Moulsoe, or you have links with any of the churches in those parishes. There may also be other circumstances in which permission may be granted.

Lathbury's History
Lathbury has a rich history, shaped by the people, families and events that have made our village what it is today.
We also remember the Lathbury families whose lives were affected by the First World War. A detailed PDF records information about these families and helps preserve their stories for future generations.
