Census: 1822
Langham is one of the few places in the county for which a census before 1841 containing names survives.
This census comes from Norfolk Record Office documents [with the reference PD 569/27 and microform MF 908/12] and is at the front of the Parish Register Marriage Banns Book for 1822-1900.

Notes
- The film copy has an incorrect "PD571" Norfolk Record Office reference on it.
- The no of entries here is 23+9+31+5+6+6= 80.
If we take away the following 10 multiple dwellings etc.
North St -- Yard(-3) + Yard(-3), East St Chapel(-1) & Bell Yard (-3) we get 70 dwellings of which possibly 2 ie. South St (-1) and West St (-1) are uninhabited?
This compares very favourably with the 1821 population which has 67 inhabited and 3 uninhabited houses. - 12 East Street - William Whisker is a tailor in 1841 census aged 67
- 6 West St - John Curl is a Gardener aged 75 in 1841 census
- The followings names are given where alternative spellings have been seen:- Even/Evan, Peeling/Pealen
