There are two Langtons in Lincolnshire, Langton by Spilsby and Langton by Wragby. I thought the archbishop was from Langton by Wragby, but I could well be wrong.<br /><br />On the other hand there was certainly an earlier church at Langton by Spilsby before the Georgian one in my picture. I'll do a further post soon about the one surviving object from that earlier church.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-67042813048426210272015-08-29T22:37:09.372+01:002015-08-29T22:37:09.372+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-32755517491674178092015-08-29T17:58:33.235+01:002015-08-29T17:58:33.235+01:00Could this be the original place of worship for St...Could this be the original place of worship for Steven Langton <br />He was one of the original movers and shakers in the creation of Magna Carta. <br />I went to a lecture hosted by David Starkey last night in Lincoln and it came up that he was born here, hence the Langton by spilsby name.
