Langley Burrell

Langley Burrell

Langley Burrell is a village just north of Chippenham, Wiltshire. It is notable in particular as one of the termini of Maud Heath's Causeway and, also for its Early English and Perpendicular church. The Georgian parsonage was for many years the home of the Rev. Robert Kilvert, father of the famous diarist Francis Kilvert, who from 1863 to 1864 and 1872 to 1876 was curate to his father here.
