The Manor has had its fair share of famous inhabitants including Sir John Latch who, in 1627, was the High Sheriff of Somerset.

[8][9] In 1642, Sir John, a staunch Republican, leased Over Langford Manor and raised soldiers for Cromwell's New Model Army.

The Latch porch[15] is arguably the Manor's most famous claim to fame, even having picture postcards made of it in the reign of Edward VII.

The porch itself is described by Williams[5] as "having decoration and style so exuberant that one is tempted to suspect that some 'antiquarian' embellishment has been introduced; this especially at the sides which have shouldered arched openings ovolo moulded.

In the gable is a strapwork motif" In 2003 an application to extend one of the agricultural outbuildings and use it as a farm shop was rejected by North Somerset Council.
