Tur Langton (derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for an enclosure, meaning "long town")[2] is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district, in the heart of Leicestershire in England.

The next nearest settlement of significant size is the civil parish Kibworth Harcourt, 2.11 miles (3 km) west of Tur Langton.

In July 1645, King Charles briefly visited Tur Langton to rest and water his horse in his departure from the Battle of Naseby.

[7] Before the construction of St Andrews Church in 1866, Tur Langton's sole place of worship was a small chapel, which was reported to be a 'wretched structure' as early as 1832.

[8] Built on Main Street and still standing today, the church was fashioned in a Victorian Style and dedicated to St Andrew.

A wooden army hut bought from Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, it was constructed by public subscription after World War I.

[9] Variations in the population of Tur Langton, although potentially caused by natural birth and death rates, may be a consequence of its changes in classification.

Other peaks or dips in population from this date on are most likely due to either natural variations in birth and death rates or further minor boundary changes.

[11] The records also show that two of the 1881 residents were employed by the local or national government, so there may have been some form of authority in Tur Langton held by these individuals.

However, the biggest difference in employment across this time frame is that now transport is widely accessible, many more people can work outside of Tur Langton.
