In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lartington like this:
LARTINGTON, a village and a parish in Romald-Kirk district, N. R. Yorkshire. The village stands adjacent to the South Durham and Lancashire Union railway, near the river Tees at the boundary with Durham, 2 miles W by N of Barnard-Castle; is a pretty place; and has a station on the railway, and a post-office under Darlington. ...
The township comprises 5,299 acres. Real property, £2,333. Pop., 192. Houses, 39. Lartington Hall is the seat of the Witham family; stands in a well-wooded and pleasingly diversified park; has a very handsome Roman Catholic chapel; and has also an interesting museum, accessible to the public. A chantry was founded here, in the 15th century, by the Fitzhughs.
