The Littleton Arms is a Grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1374094 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1374094 ). Built in 1793 http://www.thelittletonarms.com/about/about-the-littleton-arms/ as a coaching inn at the corner of St Michael’s Square, on land once belonging to the church. To quote from the village website http://www.penkridge.org.uk/folders/history1.htm it “is a survival from the days when one family, the Littletons, dominated the village for nearly 400 years. Built after the style of Teddesley Hall it became the hub of the village. It hosted great balls for the local aristocracy and entertained the humblest tenants on the estate rent days. The law abiding went there to pay their taxes and the law defying to stand before the magistrates”.
