Most Langtons in Lancashire at this time came from one of two different (totally unrelated) Langton families. One was from Lancashire itself, the village of Longton, originally called Langton. The majority of Langtons in Lancashire though, actually came from East Langton in Leicestershire, arriving as Barons of Newton around 1300 and staying ever since.
