'Langton House (90240562), built in 1827-33 to the design of C. R. Cockerell in place of an 18th-century house, was demolished in 1949. An engraving of the 18th-century house (Hutchins I, opp. 284) shows a two-storeyed main range with six regularly spaced bays, flanked by projecting two-bay wings, also two-storeyed, but lower than the main range. Between the two central bays fo the six-bay front the engraving shows a doorway and a columned porch with a Doric pediment ; this portch is now at Langton Farm (8)… (4) Brew-house (90320551), of two storeys, with walls and roofs as in (2), has in the S.E. front an archway surmounted by a turret with a cupola. The S.W. front is marked by an arcaded loggia of three bays, with round-headed arches springing from coupled rectangular piers. The building probably is of c. 1830.' [1]
