West Langdon is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Langdon, in
the Dover district of Kent, England. It is located five miles north of Dover town.
In 1961 the parish had a population of 68.[1] On 1 April 1963 the parish was
abolished and merged with East Langdon to form "Langdon".[2]
The name Langdon derives from an Old English word meaning long hill. The first
known written reference dates to 861 AD, mentioning one Langandune, but around 1200
AD there was a reference to Estlangedoun (East Langdon, about one mile to the south
east) and Westlangedone.
The Church is dedicated to Saint Mary. The remains of Langdon Abbey are nearby.
