The Memorial Hall was opened in October 1923 [3] and remained the focus of the village for over 70 years.

However, over this time the population of the village grew steadily, and in the 1990s it became clear that the hall could no longer meet the requirements of the residents.

[3] The construction of the new hall began in July 1998 and the building was completed in February of the following year.

The official opening took place on 15 May 1999,[2] although the first event in the hall, a professional performance of Macbeth, occurred two months earlier.

Littleton and Harestock are part of the Wonston and Micheldever Ward which elects three councillors to Winchester City Council, as well as the wider Winchester Downlands ward which elects a councillor to Hampshire County Council.
