History of Langton Green

Travellers would walk the Old Pack Horse Lane as far back as the Saxons and Romans. This winding lane ran between Newhaven and London.
It would have been a long and tiring journey for travellers and they would have been grateful for the springs of fresh water they found in Langton Green at Adams Well and Gipps Cross).

A railway was built to run alongside the stream and a level crossing was provided for travellers walking the Pack Horse Lane to enable them to cross safely. This level crossing was closed in 1958 and the bridleway was then diverted.

In honour of Queen Victoria's Jubilee a stone basin and canopy were built in Langton Green and local cottage residents would get their fresh water supply from here before piped water was introduced.

Situated approximately 2 miles West of Tunbridge Wells Town, Langton Green is in the borough of Tunbridge Wells and although it has its own church it is within the Parish of Speldhurst.
