Langford is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 4 miles north-east of Newark-on-Trent and two miles East from The River Trent. It is based on A1133 which comes off of the A46. Although Langford is currently located two miles from The River Trent it has not always been this way. In ‘1575 there was a cataclysmic flood’〔Langford Church History, Winthorpe Village, Nottinghamshire. Village community website. 2007 ("winthorpe.org.uk/langford-church" ) Retrieved 9 March 2012〕 which altered the course of the Trent which meant Langford and Holme were now on the same side of the river. Before this change in the rivers course the Trent used to flow next to St Bartholomew’s church and Holme was on the opposite side of the bank. John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wale (1870–72) portrays Langford as follows:‘Langford, a parish in Newark district, Notts; on the Newark and Lincoln railway, and on the Fosse way, near the river Trent. and near the boundary with Lincolnshire, 3 miles NNE of Newark r. station. Post-town, Newark. Acres, 2,182. Real property, £2,471. Pop., 161 . Houses, 24. The manor and most of the land belong to Lord Middleton. Langford House is the seat of T. A. F. Burnaby, Esq. Bricks are made. A Roman settlement was here. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Holme, in the diocese of Lincoln. The church is a plain building, with a tower.’〔Vision of Britain.

("Vision Of Britain" ) Retrieved 9 March 2012〕 ==Population== At the time of the 2001 census, the most recent census data available for Langford, it had a population of 100 with 37 households.〔Neighbourhood Statistics | Homepage/Topics/2001 Census: Key Statistics/ Parish Headcounts ("Area:Langford CP (Parish)" )〕 This is less than in previous centuries - in 1801 it was 124,〔Population Act, 41 GEO. III. 1800. County of Nottingham - continued. Enumeration abstract, 1801 Page 275 ("Histpop | Online Historical Population Reports" ) Retrieved 24 April 2012〕 1811 was 118, 1821 was 147, etc. Until 1901, 145〔County of Nottingham, 1901 Page 15.

There was one more increase in the population in 1911 of 9% but there was then a steady decrease until 1960.〔Vision of Britain.

This also resulted in the present site of the village to be about half a mile from its previous site.〔Langford Church History, Winthorpe Village, Nottinghamshire. Village community website. 2007 ("winthorpe.org.uk/langford-church" ) Retrieved 9 March 2012〕 The population density of England and Wales between 1880 and 1960 has been increasing at a steady rate whereas Langford has barely changed at all in comparison. Langford has had small changes in its population density but overall in the 80 year period it has slightly decreased.〔Vision of Britain Langford AP/AC Through Time | Historic Statistics on Population for the Parish | Population Density (Persons per Acre) ("Vision Of Britain" ) Retrieved 25 April 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Langford, Nottinghamshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
