Kington Langley history
A settlement of 25 households at Langhelei was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Kington Langley was part of the parish of Kington St. Michael until 1865. The Kington prefix serves to distinguish it from another nearby village, Langley Burrell.
Greathouse
The Greathouse, beside the B4069 road, was built in 1690. It is a country house of nine bays and two storeys. Between 1783 and 1832 Greathouse was leased to Isaac Salter and his son Simon Salter. It was restored and extended between 1907 and 1913 for Charles Garnett, a stockbroker from London.
The Manor
The Manor was formerly an Inn called The White Horse. It was converted to the Manor House by Walter Coleman (1778–1845) on his coming of age and inheritance of much of the land and cottages in Kington Langley.
Fitzurse manor and farm
Fitzurse-hill is a very ancient-built howse with a great Hall, and moted about. No evidence that Reginald Fitzurse, one of the Knights who murdered Thomas Becket, was ever resident in Kington Langley. Urso held land, from the Church, according to the Domesday Book. Jordan Fitzurse was in dispute with Glastonbury Abbey in 1243.
School
A National School was built by John Darley & Sons of Chippenham in 1856/7 for 50-60 children and enlarged in 1886. After protracted negotiation and fundraising, by subscription, a school house was added in 1859–60. Land for both was donated by William Pole-Tylney-Long-Wellesley, 5th Earl of Mornington.
