Geography

Settlements

The parish consists of two settlements:

Langar

Langar is based in the western top of the parish. It is clustered around a square layout of roads, with a notable church and estate hall.

Barnstone

This is ½ mile north east of Langar. It is a linear settlement based along Main Road.

Predominantly, most of the residents are clustered around the villages. Outside of these is a scattering of farms, farmhouses and cottages amongst a wider rural setting, with some industry.

Land elevation

The parish is very low-lying, being in the Vale of Belvoir. The land varies from 25 metres (82 ft) in the Barnstone top right corner of the parish boundary to 38 metres (125 ft) in the south west area.

Geology

The area has some red marl, but principally is upon lias limestone. [3] This accounts for several quarries and pits developed over the years located throughout the parish.

Water features

Three watercourses run through the area:

These all are tributaries of the River Smite which is beyond the north boundary of the parish.

Religious sites

St Andrew's Church, Langar

Built in the 13th century, this Church of England chapel is often called the "Cathedral of the Vale" for its size relative to Langar village. This may have come about in part through its importance as a place of pilgrimage in Saxon times. It was restored extensively in the 19th century. [4]

St Mary's Church, Barnstone
