Langton is a village south west of the town of Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England.

The village church is a grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Margaret, and is a small structure built of greenstone, limestone and red brick. The original church on the site was medieval. It was restored in 1750 and subjected to Victorian restoration in 1890 by W Scorer. Foundations of a tower can be seen on the outside of the west wall.[1][2]

Langton Windmill was built of red brick in 1861, and ceased working in 1936.[3]
