Littleton is located in the historic County of Middlesex, which was disolved in 1965, and is now considered to be within the administrative County of Surrey. However, it still retains the postal address of Littleton, Middlesex

The parish church of St Mary Magdalene dates from 1135, and is believed to have been founded by monks from the Benedictine Abbey at Chertsey, who then served at the church for nearly 200 years. The building itself has had many alterations over the years; the tower is Tudor, and in the 18th century the chancel was extended and the tower heightened. Burial chapels for the Wood family were added to the north side about the same time. The font dates from the 13th century, and some of the pews are of fine 15th century workmanship, as is the font cover. The 15th century choir stalls are however not original to the church, having been given by Sir Rchard Burbidge of Littleton Park house in memory of his wife. The three bells date from 1666.
