Longnor, Staffordshire, is a village situated within the Peak District of England. The settlement dates back to early times, with the first recorded church building appearing in the Middle Ages. Historically, the village was known as Longenalre in the Domesday Book. Longnor developed as a significant market town in the eighteenth century, owing to its location on a major crossroads. Today it lies on the north bank of the River Manifold, on a limestone ridge that separates the Manifold from the River Dove. The surrounding landscape features the characteristic limestone geology of the Peak District, and the village’s position between two rivers offers scenic views and a rural setting. The historical market town heritage and the natural environment combine to give Longnor a distinctive character within the region.
