Langthorne is a village and civil parish in Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England.^[1] Like many settlements in the area during the time of the Domesday Book, the land belonged to Count Alan and had just three villagers registered as living there.^[2] The name of the village means Tall Thorn-Bush (or tree) and derives from the Old English Lang and þorn.^[3]

The population was estimated to be 60 in 2015.^[4] It is near Hackforth and the A1(M) motorway 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Bedale.

The hamlet used to have two places of worship; the Anglican church was dedicated to St Mary, and the other religious house was a Wesleyan chapel. Both buildings are now private dwellings.^[5]

“A Brief and Recent History of Langthorne” was published in May 2021 following a community project. It’s also available online at www.langthornevillage.com
