[4] By the beginning of the 17th century there were two watermills, one perhaps on Nethercote Brook which divides today's parishes of Little and Great Wolford.

The manors of Great and Little Wolford stayed in the Compton family until 1819, however, at about 1600 they were bought by Robert Catesby, the leader of the group of English Catholics who planned the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot.

After his death in 1916, the manors passed to David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale, the father of the Mitford sisters.

He was in 1616 the ambassador at the Hague, in 1622 the warden of Merton College, Oxford, and afterwards commissary of the diocese of Canterbury.

Directory listed trades and occupations in 1850 included five farmers, two in the same family, a brickmaker, shoemaker, blacksmith, a corn miller, and two carpenters.

[12] The next higher tier of government is Stratford-on-Avon District Council, to which Little Wolford sends one councillor under the Brailes and Compton ward,[13] above this, Warwickshire County Council, where Little Wolford is represented by the seat for the Shipston division of the Stratford-on-Avon area.

[14] Little Wolford is represented in the UK Parliament House of Commons as part of the Stratford-on-Avon constituency, its 2019 sitting MP being Nadhim Zahawi of the Conservative Party.

Adjacent Warwickshire parishes are Burmington at the north, Long Compton at the east, Barton-on-the-Heath at the south, and Great Wolford at the west with the boundary defined by the course of Nethercote Brook, a tributary of the River Stour.

A stop in the hamlet includes connections to Shipston-on-Stour and Burmington on a circuitous village Shipston Link service.

The only other stop, on the A3400, includes connections to Shipston-on-Stour, Stratford upon Avon, Chipping Norton, Whichford, Long Compton, and Lower Brailes.

Of limestone courses, with earlier parts of ashlar, it is of two storeys and L-plan, previously U-plan until the early 19th century.

[23] Between these two buildings, and at the west side of Little Wolford Road at its junction with Rosary Lane, is a wellhead (listed 1987) which probably dates to the 19th century.

Set into the pavement wall, and recessed within a structure of coursed limestone which includes fragments of architectural elements, it comprises an iron trough fed by a "beast head".

The northernmost, at the junction with the road to Cherington, is Broadmoor Lodge (listed 1987), possibly designed by Edward Blore as part of his scheme for the now demolished Weston House.

Dating to c.1830, of two storeys in coursed limestone and T-plan, it is in Tudor domestic style, with dutch gables with two-light mullion windows, and a porch on its front face at right angles to the road.

This dates to the mid-19th century, and is built of coursed limestone in T-plan, and is of one storey and an attic in Tudor domestic style.

The listed rear range outbuilding to the lodge contains a kitchen and a "small dog kennel with 4-centred arch.

[33][34] At the head of the drive at Weston Lodge are two gate piers (listed 1987), both probably dating to the early to mid-19th century.

[35][36] Two levelled former earthworks of banks and ditches signifying enclosures, photographed by the Warwickshire National Mapping Project in 1947, are to the east from the hamlet and A3400 road (52°00′57″N 1°36′30″W / 52.0157°N 1.60843°W / 52.0157; -1.60843), and which, according to Pastscape, "are presumed to be the remains of copse enclosures" and "appear to be a ornamental Park land feature" at what was the south-east edge of the formal park of the now nonexistent Weston House, until the 18th century a 300 acres (121 ha) deer park which was established by Henry VIII.
