History
The history of Little Eversden is closely related to that of its neighbour Great Eversden, though the two have formed distinct ecclesiastical parishes since at least the 13th century but one unified administrative parish from 1249 for 700 years. The parish of Little Eversden, covering 790 acres, lies between the Bourn Brook to the north and Mare Way, the ancient ridgeway, to the south. The south-east border is largely formed by the Roman road from Cambridge to Arrington Bridge. Little Eversden had its own small village school until July 1968 when it was closed and the building is now the office of a company.Church
