Note du spécialiste

James Haughton Langston (1797-1863) was the son of John Langston of Sarsden House, Oxfordshire. He was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. In 1812, while he was still at school, he succeeded his father and inherited the Sarsden estate. He came of age in 1818, taking possession of a handsome inheritance (his father's personal estate had been sworn under £250,000 after his death), and ordering himself a silver dinner-service. He married Hon. Julia Moreton, the daughter of Thomas Reynolds Moreton, 4th Baron Ducie and they had one daughter, Julia.
