In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Langley Bury like this:
LANGLEY-BURY, a hamlet in Abbots-Langley parish, Herts; near the Grand Junction canal and the North-western railway, 3¼ miles NW by N of Watford. .A handsome church was erected here, in 1864, at the expense of Jones Lloyd, Esq.; is in the early decorated English style, of square flints and Bath stone; comprises nave, N aisle, chancel, vestry, and porch, with tower and shingle spire 130 feet high; and includes, on the S side of the chancel, a mortuary chapel of the Lloyd family. ...
Langley-Bury House was built by Chief Justice Raymond; passed to the Whittingstalls; and is now the seat of J. Lloyd, Esq.
