Langton by Wragby is a small village in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire. It is about a mile south-east of Wragby, and on the A158 Horncastle road. It is in the civil parish of Hatton.
Langton Wood is a small, previously extra-parochial area, now included in the parish.[1]
The parish church, St Giles, is of 14th-century origin, although it was rebuilt in 1866. It is a Grade II listed building.[2][3]
Langton Court is the former vicarage, now a house, built in the middle of the 18th century with some 19th-century additions. It is a Grade II listed building.[4][5]
The early 13th-century Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, was the son of Henry Langton of Langton by Wragby, and may have been born in a moated farmhouse west of the church.[6]
