Human settlement in England
Little Baldon is a hamlet in the Marsh Baldon civil parish , about 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Oxford in Oxfordshire , south of Marsh Baldon and west of Chiselhampton .
Little Baldon is near the other "Baldon" villages included in an old rhyme:
Marsh Baldon, Toot Baldon, Baldon on the Green, Little Baldon, Big Baldon, Baldon-in-between
It is where an RAF Handley Page Hastings crashed in 1965 , killing all 41 people aboard.[1] This was the third worst air crash in the United Kingdom up to that time.[2] A memorial plaque in the parish church of St Lawrence at Toot Baldon commemorates the disaster.
