East Langdon was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The word 'Langdon' is "long hill" in Old English. The first reference to the village, in 861, mentions one Langandune, but a reference in 1291 mentions Estlangedoun and Westlangedone, the latter village of West Langdon being located about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the northwest.
The church is dedicated to Saint Augustine. The remains of Langdon Abbey are nearby.
