Langthorne


Langthorne is a village and civil parish in Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. Like many settlements in the area during the time of the Domesday Book, the land belonged to Count Alan and had just three villagers registered as living there. The name of the village means Tall Thorn-Bush and derives from the Old English Lang and þorn.
The population was estimated to be 60 in 2015. It is near Hackforth and the A1 motorway north of Bedale.
The hamlet used to have two places of worship; the Anglican church was dedicated to St Mary, and the other religious house was a Wesleyan chapel. Both buildings are now private dwellings.
