Little London
(click on image to enlarge)
Legend has it this settlement was founded by people fleeing the plague
during the late 17th Century and this is consistent with the age of many of its thatched
cottages.
Originally built on rising ground to the east, it now also occupies the
valley bottom. The houses and
fields rise steeply to the east before coming to the boundary of Ridges Copse where the land reaches the
130m level and from here
there are magnificent views
over Andover to the
range of hills including the Danebury Ring.
Its dwellings range from flint and brick thatched dwellings, to post World
War II council houses and more modern developments.
