Little Staughton

Little Staughton

Little Staughton is a small village in the north of Bedfordshire. The parish of Little Staughton is part of the Stodden Hundred (which comprises Bolnhurst, Clapham, Dean, Keysoe, Knotting, Little Staughton, Melchbourne, Milton Ernest, Oakley, Pertenhall & Swineshead, Riseley, Shelton, Tilbrook and Yelden). The parish church, All Saints, is set apart from the present village – the previous village having been abandoned following the Great Plague of London.

During World War II it was the home of 109 Squadron (Mosquito bombers) and 583 Squadron (Lancaster bombers).

The airfield is now largely used for other purposes but retains a recently listed Control tower.
