About Littlecote
Littlecote, located approximately eight miles north of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, was once a thriving village documented in the Domesday Book of 1086 with ten households. In the late 15th century, landowner Thomas Pigott transformed the area by enclosing land for sheep grazing, leading to the village's eventual depopulation and destruction by 1507. This historical context may be relevant for those researching planning applications or land use in the area.
