St. Anne’s is a delightful little Church which celebrated its 150 year anniversary in May 2016. The Community love their Church and are always keen to help with its upkeep including assisting with tidying the Churchyard two or three times a year. At St Anne’s, current services are based on The Book of Common Prayer with hymns from Hymns Ancient and Modern and 100 Hymns for Today. Psalms are taken from the Book of Common Prayer. Sunday Services are at 9.15 a.m. On the second, and fifth Sundays of the month, it is a Holy Communion service and on the fourth Sunday, it is Choral Matins.
Littleworth Common comprises 44 cottages and houses of varying sizes, several of which surround the common which is a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’. The Common is a popular place for the local community and especially dog walkers!
Dorneywood house, just outside the parish boundary, is presently the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was gifted to the National Trust with an attached condition that it is held as a Ministerial home. Lord Courtauld Thompson and other members of his family, who gifted the property to the Trust, donated features to the church building including a window, and are buried in St Anne’s Churchyard. Day visitors are also brought to the parish by the family attraction Odds Farm.
Dropmore Parish Hall is a small village hall, located opposite St Anne’s Church. The building is primarily used by the Burnham Montessori school during term time. It hosts occasional village meetings and some private events for local residents. It is a registered charity.
Littleworth Common is a very pleasant place to live with a good Community Spirit.
