The population of the civil parish at the 2011 Census was 170.[1] According to the Census there were 84 males and 86 females living in the parish in 2011.[2] Little Braxted has a small medieval church dedicated to St Nicholas, which was extensively decorated in the Victorian era.[3] Little Braxted has one pub, The Green Man.[4]
