Langleys (name confirmed) was completely rebuilt in brick with the addition of an upper storey in 1719. See photographs. The north wing of the present building encases the earlier house of 1620, which has two rooms with contemporary early 17th century plaster rooms with contemporary early 17th century plaster work. The whole mansion is an outstanding building of the period. The deer park according to the owner is contemporary with the early 18th century rebuilding and was not enclosed by a park pale.
