St Bartholomew's, Little Packington

Little Packington is a hamlet and parish in the Hemlingford hundred of Warwickshire. It is situated just to the north-west of Great Packington and outside the boundaries of Packington Park. Population details can be found under Coleshill

There is a small church dedicated to St Bartholomew. It is of Norman origin with mediæval timber framing and 17th-century internal additions. It has, however, been converted for use as a private dwelling and access is only accessible upon special request. 1½ miles north-east of the church is Hermitage Manor, dating back to the 12th century; remnants of its buildings and moat still exist today. There is also an ancient sandstone footbridge, adjacent to a ford which crosses the river Blythe.
