Littleworth is a small settlement in the Burnham civil parish, within South Bucks district in Buckinghamshire, England.
There are some cottages and houses around a rough common called Littleworth Common, a Site of Special Scientific Interest that covers 200 acres (81 ha). The small brick and flint church called St Anne's, Dropmore was designed by William Butterfield and built in 1866 and there are two pubs (The Blackwood Arms and the Jolly Woodman) and Dropmore Infant School. To the west are the fenced off grounds of Dropmore House which was built around 1792 for William Wyndham and a gatehouse to it called Oak Lodge.
Famous quotes containing the words south and/or bucks:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I’m a very smart guy. I haven’t a feeling or a scruple in the world. All I have the itch for is money. I am so money greedy that for twenty-five bucks a day and expenses, mostly gasoline and whisky, I do my thinking myself, what there is of it; I risk my whole future, the hatred of the cops ... I dodge bullets and eat saps, and say thank you very much, if you have any more trouble, I hope you’ll think of me, I’ll just leave one of my cards in case anything comes up.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
