West
Littleton is a small village located to the north west of Marshfield
on rising ground. It boasts around 50 inhabitants, with 25 houses, a working farm and St James’ Church. It
is located between the M4 and the A420. The closest amenities are to be found in Marshfield and the historical city of Bath is a short distance to the South. The National Trust property, Dryham House
situated in Dyrham Park is located a few hundred metres from the village.
West Littleton is a beautiful village with many buildings and walls
built of Cotswold stone, and stone tiled roofs. Houses are arranged around the
Common giving a sense of openness and space. Some houses in
the village date back to the 15th century with some possibly even back to the 14th.
The Church
of St James is small in scale and originated in the 13th century. It
was rebuilt in 1855 and has a striking bell tower.
The church has a collection
of 18th and 19th century wall memorials and tombs which will be restored in 2009.
This site is used to promote events which take place in West Littleton.
