Langley Hall moated site and Langley Chapel is an ancient monument in Shropshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval moated homestead and an associated chapel. The moated site represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of the medieval period, with water-filled or water-retaining ditches serving both defensive and status-indicating functions around the hall. The survival of structural remains and associated chapel indicates a site of some local importance, typical of minor gentry or manorial settlements from the high or late medieval period. The monument preserves evidence of medieval settlement patterns and domestic arrangements in the English Midlands.
