Langbaurgh West


Langbaurgh West was a division of the wapentake of Langbaurgh in the North Riding of the ancient county of Yorkshire. The area along with Langbaurgh East forms the Anglo-Saxon baronial Liberty of Cleveland, England and roughly covers the modern districts of Middlesbrough, the western, urbanised portion of Redcar & Cleveland, the southern portion of Stockton-on-Tees, the northern parts of Hambleton and the northern parts of the Borough of Scarborough.
From the most northwesterly point, the West Wapentake's approximate boundary started from Yarm across to Eston, following south the boundary of Lanbaurgh East, then southwest past Stokesley and back up to Craven and Yarm. The West Wapentake covered roughly the area of modern-day Middlesbrough, South Stockton and the northern most parts of Hambleton.
