Langford Church Architecture

St Andrew's church in Langford was described by Pevsner as "an uncommonly uniform church in the Decorated style".  The ornamental stonework has been heavily restored and the external appearance altered by the raising of the of the nave roof in the 19th century.  There must have been an earlier church as there are records of the vicarage being endowed in 1209.  The shell of the chancel, which was remodelled in the 15th century, dates from the 13th century.  The nave, aisles and south porch tower  all belong to a period of building which began in about 1320 and ended with the competition of the tower towards the end of the 14th century. 

The church is built from brown cobbles but with some ironstone rubble and ashlar dressings.  The roofs are of clay tiles apart from that of the vestry which is slate.

The original chancel screen remains and there are some fragments of medieval heraldic glass.  There is a brass to Thomas Hundon, vicar, who died in 1520.  the font dates from the 14th century but was restored in the 20th century.  There are some early pews to the nave but otherwise the seating is 19th century.
