Little Langford is a hamlet and former civil parish in Wiltshire, England. Its nearest town is Wilton, about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the southeast. It is in the Wylye valley, to the south of the river; the grass fields adjacent to the river were traditionally flood meadows.
The civil parish was added to Steeple Langford parish in 1934.[1]
The Anglican Church of St Nicholas of Mira is Grade II* listed.[2] It dates from the 12th century and was restored in 1864 by T.H. Wyatt.[3]
Little Langford farmhouse (c.1858) has a Victorian Gothic entrance tower, lancet windows and crenellations. The farm is over 580 ha (1,400 acres) and is home to a 200 cow dairy unit.[4]
Just to the south of the village lies the Iron Age hill-fort of Grovely castle.
