Peter Little of Long Valley Road in Twerton is a keen historical researcher and musician. In 1995 he wrote a History of Twerton, copies of which are available at Bath Reference Library. He has also written A Few Twerton Folk, detailing the lives of some of the more noteworthy characters of Twerton's past. His latest booklet gives an overview of 16 interesting chapels around Bath and is sold by Oldfield Park Bookshop at Moorland Road, Whiteman's at Orange Grove and Good Buy Books at North Parade, with proceeds to go to St Michael's Church.

For many years Mr Little has voluntarily played the organ for Sunday services at St Michael's, and played the piano for a service attended by deaf and hearing people at Pennard Court.
