Little it may be, but Little Abington's many thatched cottages and its charming corner group of timbered houses make it more of a show than Great Abington across the River Granta. Through buttercup meadows a shady lane brings us to the 600 year old tower of the church with a peep of Abington Hall. The porch has been made new, but its medieval timbers shelter a Norman doorway, simple, deep, and narrow, closed with an ancient door. From still earlier Norman days come the north doorway patterned with stars and a blocked window. For the rest, it is a simple place, with a transept and a font of the 13th century, fragments of stone coffins, some pews with old ends and backs, and a plain old chest. A 15th century screen spans the chancel arch, which has a peephole in one of its pillars. The chancel has a charming double piscina with Norman carving, and in one of its windows are the Wise Men in rich glass. A tiny low window in the north wall has long been a puzzle.
