History
In 1774, Mrs. Sarah Bernard, widow of the Rev. Thomas Bernard, by will, directed her executors to cut down all the timber in Halsted Grove. With the proceeds of this, they erected a School and five terraced Almshouses. A minor road winds through Little Bardfield which connects Thaxted (three miles to the West) to Great Bardfield (a mile to the south-east). It has a small ancient tiled Church dedicated to St Katharine with an Anglo-Saxon tower.[2]
