Langford, Nottinghamshire

[3] The value of this land to the Lord between 1066 and 1086, according to The Domesday Book, was between £4 – £4.50 and had a taxable value of 2.4 geld (Danegeld) units.

In "1575 there was a cataclysmic flood"[4] which altered the course of the Trent which meant Langford and nearby Holme were now on the same side of the river.

Before this change in the rivers course the Trent used to flow next to St Bartholomew's church and Holme was on the opposite side of the bank.

The living is a p[erpetual] curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Holme, in the diocese of Lincoln.

[10] The population density of England and Wales between 1880 and 1960 has been increasing at a steady rate whereas Langford has barely changed at all in comparison.

Langford has had small changes in its population density but overall in the 80-year period it has slightly decreased.

[1] In 1800 Langford had a population of 124, with 116 employed in agricultural work which is likely to have been farming due to the landscape of the area.

[12] In 1831 there were only three occupational categories in use in Langford, all related to agricultural work which is common in a civil parish at this date.

"Agriculture" was still recorded as the most common occupation in Langford with 43 males and 1 female working in this category.

The second most prevalent occupation was "Domestic service or offices", which was subject to mainly female workers (13) and only two men in this category.

The site is home to species such as sand martin, bearded tit and Cetti's warbler.
