Langley

LANGLEY is a parish of dispersed dwellings, extending from the river Yare, southward, to within a mile of Loddon, and about 10 miles SE of Norwich. It has 323 inhabitants, and 2,700A of land, of which 1,000A are in low marshes. The CHURCH (St Michael) is a small but interesting building, with a square tower. It was thoroughly repaired by the Beauchamp family, about 1803, and its windows filled with ancient and modern stained glass, at the cost of the Dowager Lady Beauchamp. The curacy, certified at £20, and valued in 1831 at £45, was augmented, from 1772 to 1824, with £600 of QAB. It is in the incumbency of the Rev Thos Wm Henry Beauchamp, of Chedgrave, and patronage of Sir Wm Beauchamp Proctor, Bart, the impropriator, owner of the soil, and lord of the manor, who resides at Langley Hall, a large and elegant mansion, in a beautiful park of 800A, chiefly erected about the year 1740, by Mr Recorder Berney, of Norwich, and finished by George Proctor, Esq. About a mile from the church is Langley Staith, with a small navigable stream, crossing the marshes to the Yare.
