History
Littledale Free Church, built 1849 by Revd John Dodson

Littledale Hall was built in 1849 for Revd John Dodson, of a Liverpool shipping family.[2][3] He had been vicar of Cockerham from 1835 to 1849, but seceded from the Established Church because of the Gorham judgement and retired with his family to Littledale. There he also built a Free Church in which he preached for thirty years, dying in Eastbourne in 1890. His eldest son John died at Littledale in 1851 at the age of 18.

The house became a Christian retreat in 1988 and a residential addiction treatment centre in 2006. [4][5][6]
