It is situated {{Convert|6|mi|km|0}} north of Driffield town centre, and on the B1249 road between Driffield and Foxholes. According to the 2011 UK census, Langtoft parish had a population of 492,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 457.[2] ToponymyThe name Langtoft is derived from Old Norse lang or Old English lång 'long' and Old Norse topt 'site of a house'. It has etymological homonymy with Langtoft, Lincolnshire and Lanquetot (Normandy, Languetot 12th century).[3][4] HistoryIn 1823 Langtoft was a civil parish in the Wapentake of Dickering and the Liberty of St Peter's. Population at the time was 416. Occupations included thirteen farmers, two butchers, three shoemakers, two tailors, two grocers, a blacksmith, a corn miller, a stonemason, and the landlords of the George & Dragon and Nelson public houses. Carriers operated between the village and Driffield once a week.[5] The chronicler Pierre de Langtoft took his name from the village. Also resident in the village during the same era was Margaret De Langtoft, who later became one of the five nuns that formed the Sisterhood of Rosedale Priory.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} In the centre of the village is the village green which was a pond, and is still referred to as such by some.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} There is a monument to the villagers who died in the two World Wars.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} The village was flooded in 1657 and 1892. A plaque on the corner of Back Street and Front Street commemorates the floods with the words: "In commemoration of the great flood of Langtoft April 10th 1657 Height of flood unknown. Also the great flood of Langtoft July 3rd 1892 Height of flood 7½ feet." Front Street floods to a minor extent during heavy rain. In 2007 the 'pond' flooded causing closure of the road.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} AmenitiesThe church dedicated to St Peter was designated a Grade I listed building in 1968 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[6] The village public house is The Ship Inn which closed in 2015 due to lack of village support.
