Little Warley Explained

Little Warley is a village in the Brentwood district, in the county of Essex, England. It is situated south of Thorndon Country Park. The first outbreak of the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth outbreak occurred here.

Little Warley was an ancient parish. In 1931 it had a population of 395.^[1] On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with Brentwood, Essex, except for a smaller part south of the railway which went to Little Burstead.^[2]

Since 2003 the area around St Peter's Church, but not the entire former parish, has formed part of the reconstituted civil parish of West Horndon.
