He was educated at Eton College (1811) and graduated from Oxford in 1819. In 1812 Langston succeeded his father, inheriting the Sarsden estate. He was appointed High Sheriff of Oxfordshire for 1819–20 and verderer of Wychwood Forest. Langston served as MP. He had married the Hon. Julia Moreton, the daughter of Thomas Reynolds Moreton, 4th Baron Ducie. They had one daughter who survived into adulthood, Julia, to whom he bequeathed his Oxfordshire estate. In 1849 she married her cousin Lord Moreton, later 3rd Earl of Ducie. The fountain is a Grade II Listed monument.  The inscription reads "1870 for Julia, Countess of Ducie, in memory of her father,
