Langley Road, SLOUGH, SL3 8BP

Langley, also known as Langley Marish, is a large village 2 miles to the east of central Slough. Since the end of World War II, it has become contiguous with Slough and could now be regarded as a suburb.

Newly renovated semi-detached houses. The house on the right has got new style windows and side extension and large porch.

Towards Slough.

Langley is still known by locals as "Langley Village", but after the war it merged with Slough to become its eastern suburb. This is the centre of Langley, known as "The Harrow" after the nearby pub. The sign on the roundabout was erected to commemorate the millennium.

A team of strimmer operatives are at work at St. Mary's this afternoon.

This stone is built into the wall above the porch of the almshouses, and commemorates the endowment of the houses by Sir John Kederminster, giving the date, 1617. At the top are the arms of the Kederminster family - this part is in much better condition than the rest and must have been renewed. Below is a Latin inscription, badly weathered. I can make out the words 'Manerii de Langly ma . . . et Wyrardisbury' (the old form of 'Wraysbury') and - I think - 'Dachet'. The family name 'Kederminster' appears at the top. Just below it is the word 'Senescalis', which I suspect may be the word for 'almshouse'. (In Stamford, Lincolnshire, various old almshouses go by the name of 'Callis'.) At the very bottom the date is given in two forms, linked by a big curly bracket - 'A Dni 1617', and above it the so-called 'regnal date', 'Regni 15', meaning the 15th year of the reign of James I. I ought to say that this is my own attempt at deciphering the inscription, and I'm hoping that someone with local knowledge may be able to make better sense of the whole thing.

The central porch of these early-17th century almshouses. This is the north-facing side of the building, seen here from the churchyard. The tablet over the entrance carries an inscription, but is quite badly weathered. I could make out little other than that the language is Latin, and the date - A.D. 1617.
