Originall from Bloomfield and Parkins; History of Norfolk, Vol V. p. 1339:

"I have seen," says Dr. Parkins in his History of Norfolk, an old pedigree whereby Walter de Langton is said to have been descended from _____de Lanton, who had lands at Eversden in Cambridgeshire, who married Wymara, daughter of Hugh de Berners (who lived at the time of the Conqueror), and had by her Stephen de Langton who was father of (1) Simon de Lanton, Archedeacon of Cantefury; (2) Stephen de Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Cardinal in the reign of King John; and (3) Roger de Langton, which Roger was father of Robert de Langton of Eversden, and from him descended this Walter, Bishopof Lichfield, who was his grandson."
