Little Henny is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Braintree, in Essex, England. Set among rolling arable fields and hedgerows, it consists of a scattering of farmhouses and cottages rather than a compact settlement, and is valued for its quiet lanes and countryside walks close to neighbouring hamlets such as Great Henny.
The area has medieval roots and contains a small historic church and several older farm buildings that hint at its past; agriculture remains the dominant local activity while many residents commute to larger towns. Community life is low‑key and village affairs are organised on a small scale, giving Little Henny a distinctly rural, close‑knit character within easy reach of wider services in Essex.
