The church is often called the "Cathedral of the Vale" for its size relative to the village, which lies in the Vale of Belvoir. This may have come about in part through its importance as a place of pilgrimage in Saxon times.
The north transept contains monuments to the Chaworth family of nearby Wiverton Hall. In the south transept is a magnificent monument to Thomas, Lord Scrope and his wife, Philadelphia, with their son, Emanuel, kneeling at their feet. This transept also contains the blocked entrance to the Howe tomb, with a tablet to the memory of Admiral Howe, second daughter Mary Juliana Howe and Mary, Countess Howe.
The organ came from St James' Church, Codnor, and arrived in 1906. It is of unknown origin but was enlarged in Codnor in 1876 by Lloyd of Nottingham and installed in Langar by the same firm. The specifications of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[3]
