Langton by Spilsby, sometimes called Langton by Partney, is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of the town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, England. The civil parish includes the hamlet of Sutterby.
The parish church is a grade I listed building,[1] and is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul and was built in 1725 of red brick after the previous church of Saint Peter burned down.[2]
The Round House is a grade II listed cottage ornee dating from the early 19th century, and is thatched, and built of whitewashed mud and stud.[3] English Heritage defines cottage ornee as "a rustic building of picturesque design".[4]

Langton Hall was destroyed by fire in 1405 and rebuilt in the 1550s. The Elizabethan manor lasted until about 1817 when it too was destroyed by fire. Bennet Rothes Langton erected the last Langton Hall to the designs of James Fowler[6] in 1866-7, built of brick with stone dressings in the Elizabethan style. It was demolished about 1960.[7][8]
