More about this scene

An AA sign here tells us that we are 213 miles from London. The village's tranquillity even belies its distance of only four miles from Malton. Langton is a centre for the training of racehorses, and has produced many notable winners through the years. The estate village was built up in the 19th century - the School House was built by Lt Colonel Northcliffe in 1841. The post office here, like so many in rural areas, closed and was incorporated into Post Cottage.
