MORE INFORMATION & SOURCES

Local tradition asserts that the village of Little
Gaddesden was at one time situated around the now isolated
parish church at SP 997 138. The present church of St Peter and
St Paul dates from the early 17th century, but there has been
an incumbent from 1276. The fact that the church is isolated,
and that evidence of old track-ways and disturbed ground is to be
found nearby, does indicate former occupation. There is a
probable mill-mound at SP 9987 1367.

From field observation no pattern of settlement could be found,
and AP's of the area showed no signs of a possible village. (1)
