Littlebury is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district, north-west Essex, England.

Ring Hill Fort to the west of Audley End is believed to date from the Iron Age, and there is significant evidence of Roman settlement.

[2] The village is located on the medieval London to Newmarket road (now the B1383 and A11) as well as the River Cam.

[3] The parish was owned by Ely Abbey from the ninth century, and was retained by the Crown following Dissolution.

It passed between the Earls of Suffolk, owners of Audley End house, until in 1762 it was bequeathed to Lord Braybrooke.
