Memorys And Friends of Litton
Hi, I lived in Litton as a child till I was 17 then I joinedthe air force. Fab times horse riding with Maralyn Taylor and Sheila Parsons who I am still in love with. Other friends included Kelvin Parker, Michael Roach, John Rugman, Adrian & Malcolm Larder, Wyndam Court, Patrick Newman, Brian Middle, Gln Church and Geoff & Liz Tucker. Hot summers helping farmers do haymaking and pheasant shoots. I still go back as I have an auntie there (Nesta Tucker) and cousin Liz. Great pub, the Kings Arms. And sorry not forgetting Erica who lives on the common. Anyone wanting to know about Litton contact me at somersetx@aol.com Thanks

I hope the beech walk is still there, I built my first tree house in there! It was on the other side from the barn that Ron Chard had. Ron Chard was the farmer that used the paddocks we had.
