A much loved family home, Langrish House is a Historic Manor House dating from the 1640’s although there has been a House on the site since the Domesday Book in Norman times.. The Old Vaults beneath the House were dug by Royalist prisoners captured at the Battle of Cheriton in 1644 . Sheep farmers occupied the house for a period and over the years used the lake to wash the sheep’s wool in preparation for market. The present owner’s family acquired the house and Home Farm in 1842, built on a huge wing, acquired more farms and planted the slopes around the lake below the House, with specimen trees. Nigel is the great, great, great, grandson and he and his wife live here today. It’s heyday as a family home came under the tenure of Charles William and Constance Louisa Talbot-Ponsonby; they were married in 1868 and brought up 7 children at Langrish.
