In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Little Canfield like this:
CANFIELD (Little), a parish in Dunmow district, Essex; on the river Roding, and on the Bishop-Stortford, Dunmow, and Braintree railway, 3 miles W by S of Dunmow. It has a post office under Chelmsford. Acres, 1,479. Real property, £2,315. Pop., 314. Houses, 74. The property is much subdivided. ...
The living is a rectory in the diocese of Rochester. Value, £327.* Patron, Christ's College, Cambridge. The church is partly ancient, partly a renovation of 1817, partly a reconstruction of 1859; shows Norman, perpendicular, and decorated characters in fine blending; has a tower and spire of 1817; and contains a richly sculptured monument, erected by the present rector to the memory of his mother.
