The village name is of Saxon origin meaning Litle's (Followers of family's) homestead. In 1786 the secret marriage took place in the village church between Mrs Maria Fitzherbert of Clapham House and the Prince Regent (the couple were married as Mr and Mrs Payne). At the end of the 1800's a white horse was cut into the chalky hillside above the village.
