To the north, separated from the main village by the A59 road, is the original village of Old Langho. Further north there is Brockhall Village, a gated community developed in the 1990s on the site of a hospital.[2] As of 2012[update], Northcote Manor, on Northcote Road, is the only restaurant in Lancashire with a Michelin star.[3]
The original Old St Leonard's Church was replaced by the present church in 1880, though the old church is still used several times a year for special services and is supported by the Churches Conservation Trust. There is a Church of England Primary School in the village, also called St Leonard's. There is also a Catholic church (Saint Mary's) and a Catholic school of the same name.
St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School is located in Langho.[4]
