2012 : B3114 approaching Litton from the south
"Litton was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Litune, meaning 'The small enclosure' from the Old English lyt and tun. It was the property of Gisa, Bishop of Wells.
The shape of some of the existing fields with cross-slope and down-slope field banks and cultivated ridges forming an interleaving irregular mosaic suggest they are of medieval origin." Copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litton,_Somerset

Short hop over the Chew
A footpath directs the traveller down a short flight of steps to the little bridge. Along the banks are a number of what appear to be the back gardens of several properties. Perhaps because of this the bridge has a metal frame to obstruct wheeled vehicles - see Image

That'll stop them!
A curious frame of tubular metal both helps and hinders progress over the little wooden bridge over the Chew.
