Linstead Parva

[2] The village pub, The Greyhound, was already established and trading when referenced in 1874, but it closed permanently in March 1955, and is now a private dwelling.

In true terms, the population size of the village is stable.

Although "Parva" means smaller, Linstead Parva is today significantly larger than neighbouring Linstead Magna, which is now just a satellite hamlet.

The parish church of Linstead (Parva and Magna) is in Linstead Parva, and dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch,[4] an early Christian martyr.

[4] There is almost no trace of St Peter's Church today, and the two communities have been a single parish for centuries, but a procession is still held every two years to the site of St Peter's church in Church Farm, Linstead Magna.
