Little Addington A village in Northamptonshire UK

The smaller of the Addingtons differs little in its main features from Great Addington which lies to the north of it. The population was 280 in 1921. The Church of St. Mary lies at its southern end, and is noteworthy for the beauty of its tower. We have a glimpse of 17th-century village life in a dispute in 1620 over the inclosing, by Richard and Edward Beeby, of ways by which access was obtained to the common well, the washing block on the common ground, where it was used by all the inhabitants, and the cattle troughs there.

The 1841 Census for Little Addington only had two entries for Beeby’s: Residence - King Street: William Beeby ag lab age 63 Elizabeth Beeby age 37 (The 1841 census does not show relationships.)
