The village has an interesting history and can trace its past to Saxon times. It was in Little Berkhamsted that William the Conqueror accepted the surrender of the City of London after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

The thriving village community has a parish church, St Andrew’s, two pubs; The Beehive in Epping Green and The Five Horseshoes, a cricket club, and a village store.

The parish is crisscrossed with public footpaths and bridleways and is a lovely place to live, work and visit. It's a safe community for all. See the latest Community Crime Report below.
