Langworth

Barlings Eau is a diminutive tributary of the River Witham, confluencing with it near Short Ferry. It serves as a central channel for several other minor rivers, which drain the adjacent low-lying lands on either side. The majority of its course lies within the jurisdiction of the Witham Third District IDB, an Internal Drainage Board entrusted with land drainage responsibilities. One of their pumping stations is situated along the riverbanks. Additionally, an Environment Agency pumping station is present, facilitating the transfer of water from the River Witham system to the River Ancholme as necessary to maintain optimal flows and water quality.Within Langworth, there are two public houses and two garages. Although Langworth railway station, formerly part of the Great Central Railway Grimsby to Lincoln line, has ceased operations, the railway line still traverses the village, intersecting with the A158 road. Due to its geographical location, the village is susceptible to flooding. The Environment Agency issues flood warnings for the Barlings Eau waterway, which runs just northwest of the village, and significant flooding occurred in 2007.This camera was installed and is maintained by the Environment Agency and can be viewed here.

This church underwent reconstruction from 1960 to 1962, conducted by Haynes and Johnson of Brigg, as a replacement for the chapel of Walmsgate Hall, which was initially erected in 1901. While the material from the original chapel could not be incorporated, the new structure retained the previous footprint, albeit with an extension. Elements preserved from the earlier chapel include the barrel vault roof construction, window surrounds, sliding doors with west-end handles, the font, organ, altar canopy, bronze lamps, and a memorial plaque for Dallas-Yorke, son of Thomas Yorke. Regrettably, the decorative plasterwork, featuring influences of Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite styles, was lost during the rebuilding process. Pevsner, a renowned architectural historian, regarded the original chapel's decoration as one of the most exceptional ensembles in England in the style of 1900.
