Little Bardfield's church is dedicated to St Katharine, and contains an Anglo-Saxon tower.[2] In 1774 Sarah Bernard, widow of the Rev Thomas Bernard, by will directed her executors to cut down all the timber in Halsted Grove. With the proceeds of this, they erected a school and five terraced almshouses.
