Littleham is a village on south-eastern Devon which has become in effect attached to the eastern edge of Exmouth.[1] It is however much older than Exmouth itself.
The ecclesiastical parish is now known as Littleham-cum-Exmouth. The original parish church dates back to the 13th century and is dedicated to St Margaret and St Andrew. Frances Nelson, wife of Lord Nelson, is buried in the churchyard.[2] The newer parish church, the Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1824.
Between 1903 and 1967 Littleham had its own railway station, on the Exmouth & Salterton Railway of the London and South Western Railway.
To the south of Littleham is Sandy Bay, with a large seaside caravan resort, called 'Devon Cliffs'.[3][4]
