the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Steeple Langford is a village and civil parish on the River Wylye in the English county of Wiltshire, 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Wilton. It has also been called Great Langford or Langford Magna.

The parish contains two hamlets on the opposite (south) side of the river: Hanging Langford and Little Langford (formerly a separate civil parish). To the west, along the road from Salisbury, is the settlement of Bathampton.

This Bathampton should not be confused with Bathampton, the much larger village in Somerset. The settlement at Bathampton (or Batham) survives as Bathampton House which is Grade II* listed.
