Nostalgic memories of Litton's local history

Share your own memories of Litton and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

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. ...see more
Well, actually 1820s/1830s ... we've been researching our Payne/Pain family history and some members of it were baptised in the little church in Francis's picture. It took us a long time to unravel the family and we haven't been able to get back past those who were baptished in Compton Bishop. Any help would be appreciated. PS the family migrated in various waves of Somerset migration to Victoria Australia.
