History of the name:
Sir Thomas De Lucy, Lord of Langley, was born and bred a valiant Knight
~ one of King Edward III's most trusted captains, who distinguished
himself at the Battle of Crecy. In recognition of his services, the
King gave him 40 sacks of wool. Sir Thomas decided to rebuild his house
at Langley into a strong defensive fortress, capable of keeping the
Scots at bay. He financed his building with the spoils of the French
Wars and with compensation from the Royal Exchequer. Sir Thomas commenced
work on building the magnificent fortress of Langley Castle in 1350
and work was completed in 1365.
