Littleport is the largest village in eastern Cambridgeshire, approximately 6 miles (10 km) north of Ely. It lies on the Bedford Level South section of the River Great Ouse,
With an old English name of Litelport, the village was worth 17,000 Eels to the Abbot's of Ely in 1086.[3]
Littleport was the site of the Littleport Riots of 1816. War-weary veterans from the Battle of Waterloo had returned home, only to find that they could not get any work, and that the grain prices had gone up. They took to the streets and smashed shops and other buildings until troops came to put an end to the riots.St George's church registers were destroyed during the riots. The remaining registers start from 1754 (marriages), 1756 (burials), and 1783 (baptisms).
In 2003, a Harley Davidson statue was unveiled in Littleport to commemorate the centenary of the famous motorcycle company. William Harley, the father of the company's co-founder William Sylvester Harley, had been born in Victoria Street, Littleport, in 1835, before emigrating to the USA in 1859.
