About Littlemore

The character of Littlemore reflects its proximity to a major university city, blending suburban development with remnants of its agricultural past. It lies 4.1 km south-east of Oxford (from Oxford: bearing 144°T, OS grid SP 538 028), and is situated north-north-east of Sandford-on-Thames village. Historically, Littlemore was a significant ecclesiastical centre, most notably associated with the Augustinian priory founded in the 12th century, the ruins of which still stand. Later, it became a focal point for the Oxford Movement, with John Henry Newman establishing a community and St. Mary and St. Nicholas Church here in the mid-19th century. Today, Littlemore serves as a residential suburb with a mix of housing styles, and its local economy is primarily driven by its role as a dormitory for Oxford. The landscape around Littlemore is generally flat, typical of the Thames Valley, with open spaces and parkland contributing to its appeal.
