In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Langdale like this:
LANGDALE, a township in Orton parish, Westmoreland; on the river Lune, 2 miles SSE of Orton. Real property, with Raisbeck, £2,977. Pop., 123. The manor was given, by Henry II., to Walton priory; went, after the dissolution, to the Wharton family; passed to the Bickersteths; and gave them the title of Baron.
Langdale is now part of WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Langdale itself, go to Statistics.
