In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Little Hadham like this:
HADHAM (LITTLE), a village and a parish in BishopStortford district, Herts. The village stands on the river Ash, near the boundary with Essex, 3 miles WNW of Bishop Stortford town and r. station; and has a postoffice under Ware, and a fair on 15 July. The parish includes also the hamlets of Bury Green and Green Street. ...
Acres, 3, 068. Real property, £4, 602. Pop., 864. Houses, 192. The property is divided among a few. The manor belonged to the bishops of London; and passed to successively the Bands, the Darcys, and the Capels. Hadham Hall and Hadham Park are chief residences. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Great Hadham, in the diocese of Rochester. The church is early English, in good condition; and consists of nave, aisle, transept, and chancel, with porch, and square embattled tower. A national school was built in 1861; and there are charities nearly £30.
