Little Waltham[1][2] is a village and civil parish just north of Chelmsford, in Essex, England.

[5] Its East window features local landmarks shown at the foot of the cross.

A short-lived greyhound racing track was opened in the spring of 1930 on the main Braintree-Chelmsford Road.

The racing on Friday evenings was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks.

The four-acre site near Ash Tree Corner was put up for sale in February 1931; meetings after this were organised by the Waltham Greyhound and Whippet Club.
