SITUATION
'The Langtons' are a collection of five villages, approximately 4 miles to the North of Market Harborough, that share a strong community ethos centered around the well-regarded primary school in Church Langton itself and via events such as the 'inter-Langtons' cricket matches that take place every year on the cricket pitch in East Langton. West Langton itself centers around Old Langton Hall, a stunning Grade II listed 17th Century conversion of part of the original Langton Hall, built in 1666 and later owned by The Spencer Family.The area boasts wonderful countryside in which to enjoy all pursuits, and there is access to a private woodland area for residents of West Langton. Four public houses / restaurants can be found within the Langton villages, with the ever-popular Langton Arms in neighboring Church Langton being accessible via a public footpath.
