Notable Buildings
Old Memorial Hall
It was decided after the end of the First World War to build a village hall in Littleton, which was to be dedicated to the residents of the village who had been killed during the war. The Memorial Hall was opened in October 1923 [2] and remained the focus of the village for over 70 years. However, over this time the population of the village grew steadily, and in the 1990s it became clear that the hall could no longer meet the requirements of the residents. At a meeting in 1995 it was decided that a new hall would be built.[2]
New Memorial Hall
The construction of the new hall began in July 1998 and the building was completed in February of the following year. The official opening took place on 15 May 1999,[1] although the first event in the hall, a professional performance of Macbeth, occurred two months earlier.
