Welcome to Little Common

Little Common is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. The village is situated in the north-western part of the county, close to the border with Wales. Little Common is a rural area with a population of around 200 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. The area is popular with walkers and hikers, who come to explore the many footpaths and trails that criss-cross the landscape.

Little Common has a long history, dating back to the medieval period. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings. Today, the village is much quieter, with only a handful of working farms remaining. The village is home to a small church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Mary and is a beautiful example of Norman architecture.

Despite its small size, Little Common has a strong sense of community. The village has a village hall, which is used for a variety of events and activities throughout the year. The hall is run by a committee of local residents, who work hard to ensure that it remains a focal point for the community. Little Common also has a small primary school, which serves the local area. The school has a good reputation and is well-regarded by parents and pupils alike.
