Langehewis was one of 13 lesser Domesday estates in the royal manor of Plympton. In 1086 it belonged to the Bishop of Coutances & was subsequently acqired by Henry de Cultura who granted it to Richard Pincerne. It then passed by 1291 to Plympton Priory. The Priory connection was maintained in the 19C field names of 'Great' & 'Little Prior Parks' & a separate tenement called 'Prior Parks'. After the Dissolution Langage became part of the 'Manor of Plympton Grange' which remained in Crown hands until the early 17C.
