Little Linford is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Haversham-cum-Little Linford,[1] in the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. Located near the M1 motorway, the village is about north-west of Newport Pagnell and north of Central Milton Keynes. The village is separated from its neighbour and namesake Great Linford (and the rest of the Milton Keynes urban area) by the floodplain of the River Great Ouse. In 1931 the parish had a population of 45.[2] On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with Haversham to form "Haversham cum Little Linford".[3]
Little Linford was initially a hamlet in the manor and ecclesiastical parish of Linford. The parish church is dedicated to St Leonard.
The traditional parish name 'Linford' is an Old English language word that means 'ford where maple trees grow'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Linforde.[4] The prefix 'Little' was added to distinguish it from Great Linford.
Little Linford Wood is owned by Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. Today it is one of the best habitats for dormice, which were transferred to Little Linford Wood from Kent when the Channel Tunnel rail link was being constructed.[5]
