Langriville is acivil parish inLincolnshire, England, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north west of the town ofBoston on the B1192, and on the banks of theRiver Witham.
Langriville was created a township in 1812 near a ferry over the River Witham called Langrick Ferry (nowLangrick Bridge) from which the parish has taken its name. The parish consists of the portion of Wildmore Fen allotted to the Earl of Stamford & Warrington in lieu of his manorial rights over Armtree and Wildmore fens.[2]
It was said byPishey Thompson in hisHistory and Antiquities of Boston, that the name probably came from "Long Creek" as it was the largest and longest creek in the fen, where about a mile north of the present village ofLangrick there was a sluice erected in 1543.[3]
The area was formerly belonging toKirkstead Abbey as is evidenced by references made by theBoston Corporation records claiming rights on Armtree Fen in the early 17th Century.[4]
According toWilliam Marrat'sHistory of Lincolnshire, there was a hermitage belonging toKirkstead Abbey here.[5]
Saint Margaret of Scotland Church was built inLangrick village in 1828,[6] but was notdedicated until 20 April 1922.[7]
The registers of births and deaths date from 1831, and those of marriages from 1837.[7]The church was restored and redecorated in 1935, and further work was carried out in 1968.[7]
