LittleportSt George's Church, with its very tall 15th-century tower, is a notable landmark here in Littleport. Of particular interest are two stained-glass windows depicting St George slaying the dragon. Littleport was the scene of riots in 1861, when labourers from Ely and Littleport, faced with unemployment or low wages and soaring food prices, attacked houses and people in this area, causing several deaths. Five of the rioters were hanged then buried in a common grave at St Mary's Church. A plaque commemorating the event is attached to a wall at the back of the church. |
