Langton By Wragby is a small village and civil parish about 1 mile (1.6 km) south east of Wragby, Lincolnshire, England, astride the A158 Horncastle road. Langton Wood is a small, previously extra-parochial area, now included in the parish.[1]
The church is dedicated to Saint Giles, and 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 thirteenth 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]
