A Tour of Little Oakley Village

At the far end of the village from the A43, and on the right, is the church of St Peter’s. The earliest parts are 13 century and the tower is 15 century. Inside the church there are fragments of medieval wall painting and some 16 and 17 century monuments to members of the Montagu family. The church was restored during the 1860’s.

Now, only a small part is occasionally used for services, otherwise it is redundant. It has also been used by the Orion Trust as a training centre for stonemasons.

To the left of the church is, what was orriginally the Manor House, and is now Manor Farm. The building is 16 century and has stone mullioned windows. A datestone indicates rebuilding in 1721. It has a chimney piece which is said to have come from Boughton House, and a window which is keyhole shaped and is believed to have originated from Pipewell Abbey after it was dissolved.

Honeypot and Primrose cottages

Opposite the church is Honeypot Cottage, this was rebuilt in the 19 century using the millioned windows from the original building which was 17 century.

Attached to Honeypot Cottage is Primrose Cottage, this is smaller and originates from the 18 century.

On Main Street, heading back towards the A43 are a number of 17 and 18 century buildings.

Moat cottage

On the left, almost hidden by high hedges, is Sandpit Farmhouse.

On the right is Moat Farmhouse, an 18 century building (06), and Moat Cottage, a 17 century low thatched building. (07)

A little further, on the left, is Paddock Cottage, a thatched building from the early 18 century. The village blacksmith was once housed on one of it’s outbuildings.

Also on the left is the old schoolhouse which is now a private house.

No's 20 & 21

No’s 20 and 21, on the right of the lane, are a long low thatched building from the 18 century. (10)

The last building on the left, was once an outdoor beer retailer, The Dukes Arms, which closed in 1953 and is now a farmhouse.
