Manors information for Langford and places above it in the hierarchy

Langford

From the Langford parish website: "One of the eldest and most beautiful of Langford's houses is "The Old Hall" owned by Mr. L. GRAMMAR. This house has been in his family for three generations being owned by Lord Middleton until 1847. The original building was built at the same time as Langford church in the 13th century. Extensions have been made to the north side of the house; here one can find an extremely large chimneystack into which many chimneys from the fires run. The stack itself is the size of a large room."

Jonathan THATCHER has a photograph of Langford Old Hall on Geo-graph, taken in May, 2010.

  • The National Archives' project to update the Manorial Documents Register is now complete. Note particularly the links on that page to the TNA guide and to the A-Z list of manors. Quoting the TNA guide: The Manorial Documents Register (MDR) is maintained by The National Archives, on behalf of the Master of the Rolls, as a record of the whereabouts of manorial documents. It is not a register of title to manorial lordships and we do not collect or record this type of information.
  • Primary Sources: English Manorial Documents "From English Manorial Documents, Translations and Reprints from the original Sources of European History, E. P. Cheyney, tr., vol. 3, no. 5 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania, 1907), pp. 3-32". This includes examples from several parts of the country, including Essex, Durham and Norfolk.
