Notes about this historic site

1 The possible extent of the Medieval settlement, based on the first edition 6″ Ordnance Survey map of 1886, 38 NW, excluding the possible shrunken settlement WA 1104.
2 Listed in Domesday in Ferncombe Hundred. The Phillimore edition gives a grid reference of 1962.
Ref 22,26 Iudichael holds 1 1/2 hides in Langley. Land for 2 ploughs. In lordship 2, with 1 slave. 3 villagers and 4 smallholders with 2 ploughs. Meadow 12 acres; woodland 1 league long and 1/2 league wide. The value was 30s; now 40s. Ernwy held it freely.
3 It seems to be a two centre village on the 1886 map; one little area north of the Manor Farm, and another to the northwest. There is no ridge and furrow plotting for the parish, and the RAF photo only shows a small definite area to the southwest, which does not abut the village. Domesday indicates a modest sized settlement. There is no church .
