Langrish is a little village in Hampshire, in the east of the county, a mile or so west of Stroud, a village barely bigger, and two and a half miles west of Petersfield, on the A272 road that threads the three together.
Parish church
The church of St John the Evangelist is on the NW side of the village on the west side of the A272 road.
Langrish House
On the south side of the village east of a minor road to East Meon is Langrish House, parts of which date to the early 1600s. It is said that Royalist prisoners were kept these there after the nearby Battle of Cheriton that was won by Parliametarian General Sir William Waller. Since the mid 19th Century, Langrish House has been owned by the Ponsonby-Talbot family and today it also operates as a country house hotel.
To the north of the House is a small industrial facility, originally part of the Langrish House estate, where parts were made for nose-cone of the supersonic airliner Concorde. [1]
Sport
Langrish has been host to the British Sidecarcross Grand Prix a number times[2] and hosted it again in 2012, on 26 and 27 August.
