East Langdon

East Langdon is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Langdon, in the Dover district of Kent, England. It is 3 miles (5 km) northeast from Dover town. In 1961 the parish had a population of 305. On 1 April 1963 the parish was abolished to form "Langdon".

East Langdon was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The word 'Langdon' is "long hill" in Old English.[citation needed] The first reference to the village, in 861, mentions one Langandune, but a reference in 1291 mentions Estlangedoun and Westlangedone,[citation needed] the latter village of West Langdon being located about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the northwest.

The church is dedicated to Saint Augustine. The remains of Langdon Abbey are nearby.
