Little Coxwell is a small village in Berkshire, about a mile and a half south of Faringdon and less than a mile east of Great Coxwell. It is very close to the Wiltshire border.
Cistercian monks of Beaulieu Abbey built the current parish church of St Mary in the 12th century as a chapel of ease. Little Coxwell was a chapelry of the parish of Great Faringdon until 1866 when it became a separate parish.[1]
The village has a public house, the Eagle Tavern.[2]
The Hurlingham Polo Association, the governing body for polo in the UK, Ireland, and many other countries, has its office at Manor Farm, Little Coxwell.[3]
