    39177 Newsletter Issue 11_- 02/03/2015 10:53 Page 1 Newsletter Vol. 4 No. 2 – Winter 2015 Langford Village from the air Sometimes you can only appreciate the beauty of an area from above. Shapes of buildings not normally seen from ground level gain proportion when viewed from this height. This picture of Langford’s Conservation Area was taken from a Cessna, before the extensions and additions to the Village Hall were built, but it encapsulates the area well. Although many houses have been built or altered since the original settlement began, the basic layout remains the same – a linear formation along established roads with an abundance of trees and open green spaces. According to the Rev. Philip Morant (1700-1770) the historian of Essex, the parish of Langford: ‘...lies along the side of the River Pant or Blackwater, and the Long Ford here is what occasioned the name. Lang in Saxon is the same as long.’ It is otherwise written in records Langefort, Langheforda (1086 Domesday Book); Langord (1252); Longeford (1306), Lanckforde(e) (in reference to the hall in 1592).. Of course the name came from a time when the waters of the Blackwater spread over a much wider area than at present. Also, the ford today In this issue (that is just off our picture to the right) is much smaller than the original one, and Editor’s note .................................p.2 indeed no longer crosses the original River Would you like to be a Parish Councillor?...................................p.2 Blackwater.

W.C. 1862. PREFACE. TIIE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the present (being the Fifth) Edition of the Six HOME COUNTIES DIRECTORY, trust that it may • be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Editions. Several additions have been made to the present volume : lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situate, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; and lists of Farm Bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land have been added. / The bulk of the Directory has again increased considerably: the Third Edition consisted of 1,420 pages; the Fourth had increased to 1,752 pages; and the present contains 1,986 pages. The value of the Directory, however, will depend principally on the fact that it has been most carefully corrected, every parish having been personally visited by the Agents during the last six months. The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to the Clergymen, Clerks of the Peace, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information.
