Background
History
Little Staughton, known at the beginning of the 11th century as Stoctun from the old english meaning "farmstead at an outlying hamlet". It was referred to in Domesday Book simply as Staughton, although it does not refer to any taxes being collected in the area. However, by the time of the Hearth tax return in 1671, there were approximately 250 individuals living there. The population rose to a peak of 572 in 1861, then fell to 218 by 1951, during the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars
