Langles Furnace and Forge Site Survey 1986/7, by D. M. Meades, published 1988 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 8, article, pp.48-53, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 16400] & The Keep [LIB/506560]   Download PDF
Abstract:
The WIRG Field Group surveyed this site as part of its 1986/7 winter programme. This account supplements and revises the information given in the gazetteer of The Iron Industry of the Weald, 341, which notes that the furnace was worked by Ralph Hogge in the late 16th century (Crossley (1974), 48-79) and that map of 1653 indicates a forge with two wheels at the west end of the bay (ESRO SAS E/9).
