No individual entry found for this Littleton in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Middlesex, vol. 2, 1911) notes: "The church of St. Mary Magdalene is first mentioned in 1209. [...] The chancel seems to date from the 13th century, and the plan of the nave is perhaps of the 12th, a south aisle having been added in the 13th century, and a north aisle in the 14th; the clearstory is of red brick, and probably of the 16th century; and the west tower except for its top stage, and the south porch are perhaps of the same date. [...] The font is octagonal on a round stem, and is ancient but extremely plain. Is pierced and domed wooden cover seems to include a little old woodwork."
