Langenduna was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. This small town can be found to the south of Laindon and it shares a border with Thurrock.  Langdon Hills was once part of the Urban District of Orsett until 1936. Now part of it is within the boundary of Thurrock Borough Council.

​

The name ‘Langdon’ means ‘Long Hill’.  

​

Maps from the 1890’s and 1900’s show the area as ‘Laindon Hills’.

​

St. Mary's and All Saints’ Church has stood on High Road, Langdon Hills since 1876.  It is a short walk from The Crown Hotel and the old School House, which is now a private residence.

​

Langdon Hills was home to a P.O.W. Camp 266 during World War Two and housed several Germans.  Evidence of the camp can still be seen as the concrete base in what is known as Beacon Field.  The camp closed in 1948 and the field was used, for a short time, by Westley Cricket Club.
