The oldest known map of Little Saxham is Cowell's map of 1638. Lacking somewhat is clarity and detail, it is nevertheless worthy of careful study. Little Saxham Hall and its moats can be seen, just to the right of centre. On this map, north is to the left. The 'kidney' shape of the parish can be seen, as well as in the more modern map below.
In 1776, this map was copied by Barker, maintaining the same alignment (top of the map is east). This enlarged extract from the centre of the village shows the location of the village green, before re-alignment of roads and encroaching gardens obliterated it. The small building just below and to the right of the church is probably the former inn, known as 'Stamerkin'. The building now known as 'the Old Rectory' was not built until the early 1800s. The original rectory is the building shown above the word 'Green', to the south-east of the Church.
Lodge Farm can also be clearly seen: the second building (drawn with two chimneys), to the right of the Green.
This map shows the whole of the village and is taken from the 'Pathfinder' 2½ inches to the mile series. It is still reasonably accurate, except that the A14 dual carriageway is now the parish's northern boundary. Note that 'Saxham & Risby Station' is marked.
