LANGTON, a hamlet in Speldhurst parish, Kent; 1½ mile S by W of Speldhurst village. It has a post-office, of the name of Langton-Green, under Tunbridge Wells; and contains several gentlemen's seats and neat villas; it ranks as a chapelry, annexed to the rectory of Speldhurst, in the diocese of Canterbury; and it has a church, built in 1864, containing then only 160 sittings, but constructed on a design to be enlarged into a handsome cruciform edifice.
