The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census was 349.[1] It is {{convert|6|mi|km|0}} from Ashbourne and {{convert|11|mi|km|0}} west of Derby.[2] HistoryIn 1872 the parish of Longford was described as having just over 1150 people and 220 dwellings. This parish took in the settlements of Alkmonton, Rodsley, Hollington and the "liberty" of Hungry Bentley. The first three were owned by the Coke family whilst the "liberty" of Hungry Bentley was in the possession of Lord Vernon.[3] AmenitiesThe village is centred on Main Street (which becomes Longford Lane shortly thereafter) and has relatively few amenities. These consist mainly of Longford C of E Primary School (on Main Street) and The Ostrich Inn (on Long Lane), which is around {{convert|1/2|mi|m}} from the nominal village centre. There is a small campsite and playing field adjacent to, and under the control of, The Ostrich Inn. In early 2012, The Ostrich (as it is known locally) was taken over by new management and has since proceeded to provide a regular set of varied events, from motorcycle conventions, spiritualist evenings, car boot sales and live music.
