Little Parndon or Little Parringdon is a suburb of Harlow, in the county of Essex, England. It has a church called St Mary's Church which is a Grade II listed building. [1]
The name "Parndon" means 'Hill growing with pear trees'. [2] Parndon was recorded in the Domesday Book as Perenduna/Perendinduna. [3] Little Parndon was in Harlow hundred. [4] In 1894 Little Parndon became part of Epping Rural District, on 1 April 1946 the parish was abolished and merged with Netteswell. [5] At the 1931 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Little Parndon had a population of 128. [6] The parish had an exclave, the southerly part of the former parish became part of North Weald Bassett in 1946. [7] In 1955 Little Parndon became part of Harlow parish and Harlow Urban District. Little Parndon was a ward, in 1961 the ward had a population of 6012. [8] In 1974 Little Parndon became part of Harlow non-metropolitan district in the non-metropolitan county of Essex. No successor parish was created for the former urban district and so it became unparished.
