Littleton, Spelthorne history
Early recorded history
Court rolls such as manorial rolls and Letters Patent give early versions Lutleton and Litlinton in the 13th century. In 1341 the parish was rated at £9 6s. 8d., but because the land was sandy, and the inhabitants were unable to sow it on account of their poverty – only £6 could be raised.
Ownership of the manorial land
Littleton is first mentioned by name and it was mentioned as such as a manor in 1165–67, when it was held as one knight’s fee in among the barony of William Blunt, Baron of Ixworth, whose father Gilbert had also held it. For the following three centuries right up to the Dissolution of the Monasteries a mesne lordship, providing intermediate revenues in the hierarchical structure was a right belonging to Westminster Abbey. Seated elsewhere, the Blunts let the manor to the de Grendon and Leveland families.
19th century to date
In 1848, based on the most recent census there were 111 inhabitants who mostly farmed its 1,060 acres (430 ha) of arable and pasture land. Littleton contributed most of the 707 acres (286 ha) covered by Queen Mary Reservoir, the construction of which began in 1931. The parish was in 1860 a parish of inverse shape to Shepperton by forming roughly an inverse triangle.
