Delve a little into the history behind this small village in Lincolnshire and you will soon find its hugely important link to America. You see the mud and stud thatch cottages in this village were the blueprint for the very first houses built in Jamestown America in 1607, not only that but probably built by the same carpenter as well.

Built of local greenstone, the church of St Helen is a Grade II listed church originating in the 12th century.
St Margaret's at Langton was also much restored also in 1890 though a little mediaeval stonework remains in the north aisle, visible from outside if you can't get in. Look for the unusual font made from several bits of masonry, the base being part of a Norman roof vault. There's a welcome seat in the churchyard too for anyone needing a rest!
The first Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1786 in the district known as The Wong or Cagthorpe. It was replaced by a new chapel on the same site in 1806.
