context_section_description: William Henry Powell Gore Langton (1824–1873), twiceMP for West Somerset (1851–59 and 1863–73), in 1854 succeeded his maternal grandfather Henry Powell Collins  to Hatch Court and to the family pew. He had also been the heir in 1847 to the Somerset estates of his grandfather William Gore Langton  (c. 1760 – 1847), MP, of Newton Park, near Bath in Somerset and of Dean House, Oxfordshire and 12 Grosvenor Square, Mayfair. He was a churchwarden from 1855 to 1869 and in 1867 was largely responsible for employing George Gilbert Scott to restore the church. In 1846 he married Lady Anna Eliza Mary Temple-Grenville (died 1879), daughter of Richard Temple-Grenville, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, by whom he had several children. His wife was in special remainder to the Earldom of Temple of Stowe created for her grandfather Richard Temple-Grenville, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. Memorial windows survive to W. H. P. Gore Langton and to Lady Anna Eliza Mary in the family pew in Hatch Beauchamp Church. His eldest son was William Temple-Gore-Langton, 4th Earl Temple of Stowe, who succeeded as the 4th Earl in 1889. His younger son Henry Powell Gore Langton inherited Hatch Court.

  Commander Hubert Edwin Gore Langton (died 1968), son. He married his cousin, Lady Alice Mary Temple-Gore-Langton, daughter of Earl Temple of Stowe. He served in both world wars. In World War I  he commanded destroyers on the Dover Patrol and took part in Battle of Zeebrugge, for which he won the D.S.O. and the Croix de Guerre. In memory of his wife in 1964 he presented a piece of land to the village to be called the "Lady Alice Gore Langton Memorial Field". Early in World War II several evacuee children from London were billeted in Hatch Park. During the night of 3 February 1940 the house caught fire and Miss Sarah Tennant, the Gore Langton family nurse and at the time the housekeeper, died  whilst searching a burning room to make sure that all the children were safe. Her funeral in Hatch Beauchamp church on 8 February was attended by a great concourse of friends and villagers in tribute to her act of self-sacrifice and devotion. The old house was totally destroyed and now a new and smaller house stands on its site.
