Early Origins & Name

Littleover’s name comes from Old English. In the Domesday Book it’s recorded as “Little Ufre”. Google Sites+2WikiShire+2

The “Ufre” part likely refers to a river bank or sloping ground (Old English ofer). “Little” distinguishes it from neighbouring Mickleover (“Mickle” = large / great) which means “big slope/hill.” WikiShire+2Google Sites+2
