Over Langford Manor,

Upper Langford, North Somerset
, England.

The original east-west

quoins
. This represents where the building stopped for a hundred years or so, before being extended northwards towards the road.

The Manor has had its fair share of famous inhabitants including Sir John Latch who, in 1627, was the

Rotha Beryl Lintorn Orman, founded the British Fascists
in 1923, the idea came to her while digging the vegetable garden here. She lived there until she died in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands from tuberculosis in 1935.

In 1904 Lt Cdr Charles Evans bought the Manor including the Latch porch

withdrawing room. Consequently this room was called the Langford Parlour but is now known as the Langford Room. The Latch porch was at Nailsea Court for nearly twenty years,[14]
before being returned by Charles Evans to Upper Langford in 1923. The 1911 inscription that he added commemorates the date it was rebuilt at Nailsea Court. Therefore, although it was in Charles Evans' possession for all that time, it only stood as we see it in the 21 December edition of Country Life in 1912, for twelve years.

The Latch porch

Corinthian columns on pedestals supporting a frieze and dentilled course. In the gable
is a strapwork motif"

In 2003 an application to extend one of the agricultural outbuildings and use it as a farm shop was rejected by North Somerset Council.[16]
