It is situated {{convert|6|mi|km|0}} north-east from the city and [county town](/source/county_town) of [Lincoln](/source/Lincoln%2C_Lincolnshire), and on the [A158](/source/A158_road) Lincoln to [Skegness](/source/Skegness) road. It is in the [civil parish](/source/civil_parish) of [Barlings](/source/Barlings). ==Community== The village has one [public house](/source/public_house) and two garages. The [Langworth railway station](/source/Langworth_railway_station), on the [Great Central Railway](/source/Great_Central_Railway) Grimsby to Lincoln line, has closed, but the line still runs through the village, crossing the A158. The village is in an area prone to flooding. The [Environment Agency](/source/Environment_Agency) gives flood warnings for the [Barlings Eau](/source/Barlings_Eau) waterway, which runs just north-west of the village.[http://maps.environment-agency.gov.uk/wiyby/wiybyController?topic=floodmap&ep=map&lang=_e&x=506010.0&y=376320.0&scale=5&layerGroups=1,&layerGroupToQuery=1&location=Langworth,%20Lincolnshire= "Map of Langworth, Lincolnshire]; Environment-agency.gov.uk.

'''Church''' Langworth's church is dedicated to St Hugh.[http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/LangworthGroup/ "Langworth Parish Council"]; Parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk. Retrieved 22 April 2012 The church is a 1960–62 rebuilding, by Haynes and Johnson of [Brigg](/source/Brigg), of the Walmsgate Hall chapel, itself built in 1901. The material from the original chapel could not be used although the previous footprint was kept, and lengthened. The [barrel vault](/source/barrel_vault) roof construction, the surrounds to the windows, and sliding doors with their handles at the west end was retained from the earlier chapel. The original [font](/source/Baptismal_font), organ, [altar canopy](/source/Baldachin) and bronze lamps, and a [plaque](/source/Commemorative_plaque) to Dallas-Yorke, son of Thomas Yorke, to whom the chapel was a memorial, remain from the original church. The plaster decoration, a combination of the [Art Nouveau](/source/Art_Nouveau) and [Pre-Raphaelite](/source/Pre-Raphaelite_Brotherhood) styles, was lost in the rebuilding; [Pevsner](/source/Nikolaus_Pevsner)'s view was that with the decoration "the chapel was one of the outstanding ensembles in England of the style of 1900".Pevsner, Nikolaus; [Harris, John](/source/John_Harris_(curator)); ''The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire'' pp. 293, 294; Penguin, (1964); revised by Nicholas Antram (1989), Yale University Press. {{ISBN|0300096208}} {{clear left}} '''Village store''' Langworth had a village store with a full time post office until the 2008/2009 post office closures. The village organised a campaign to keep it open. The campaign included a web campaign (www.savelangworthpostoffice.co.uk, which is no longer online) and direct action, including a protest in front of the [Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform](/source/Department_for_Business%2C_Enterprise_and_Regulatory_Reform){{cite web |title= Post Office Protest Pictures {{!}} Getty Images |url= https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/residents-of-the-langworth-area-in-lincolnshire-protest-at-news-photo/834262434#residents-of-the-langworth-area-in-lincolnshire-protest-at-the-of-picture-id834262434 |publisher= Getty Images |accessdate= 22 January 2018}} and a pedestrian crossing protest, which caused long tailbacks on the A158.{{cite web |title= Patrick Barkham, Jon Henley and Martin Wainwright on the closure of post offices {{!}} UK news |url= https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/apr/09/post.publicservices |website= The Guardian |accessdate= 22 January 2018 }} The campaign failed to reach its goal and [Post office Ltd](/source/Post_office_Ltd) closed the Langworth branch, resulting in the village store closing.
