Little Berkhamsted is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England, five miles south-west of the town of Hertford.

[3] The manor of Little Berkhampstead is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Berchehamstede when it was held by Hardwin de Scales.

The Parish Church of St Andrew is faced with Kentish ragstone and has a wooden bell-cote for three bells.

Legend has it that John Stratton was a retired Admiral and that he wanted to see ships in the Thames; however, he was a non-conformist and, as such, would have been unable to hold a commission under the Crown and the earliest known reference to the building describes it as a "Prospect Tower".

After being derelict for more than 100 years, it was restored and converted to living accommodation in 1971 by William Tatton Brown.
