Description
Presumably on RCHM as 'Langham Farm'. RCHM records the house as part timber-framed and part brick with slate roofs. Though built in the 16th century the house was altered in the 17th and the roof rebuilt in the 19th centuries. The main block's west wall was in original brick. Several original doorways survived, also indications of a former north wing. Inside, a room was lined with early 17th century panelling <1>
House is shown on the Chapman and Andre map, 1777, as 'Langham Farm'. <2>
March 1975. Field survey.
The old house was demolished in 1965 according to the farmer, and replaced by a modern farmhouse. <3> <4>
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data transfer.
