Little Horkesley is a village and parish in the Lexden Hundred of Essex. It is situated approximately four miles north of Colchester on the south bank of the River Stour. In the time of Elizabeth I, the manor of Little Horkesley belonged to the Wentworth family, a branch of the notable Yorkshire family who became the Earls of Stafford, and then passed by inheritance to a branch of the St Lawrence family who had the title Baron and later Earl of Howth.
