Little Dunmow is a small, historic village and civil parish in Uttlesford, Essex, England, set in gently rolling arable countryside a short drive from Great Dunmow and within easy reach of Stansted Airport and the M11. The village is notable for the remains of a medieval priory and an attractive parish church, alongside timber‑framed cottages and farmhouses that reflect its long history.
Locally the economy is centred on agriculture and small rural businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby towns or London; the area also attracts visitors interested in heritage and local traditions - the famous Dunmow Flitch custom is associated with the locality. Social life is quietly active, organised around the church, village hall and occasional community events that keep the strong village identity alive.
