Little Oakley is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Newton and Little Oakley, in North Northamptonshire, England.[1] It is situated between Corby and Kettering.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 85.[3] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Great Oakley to form Oakley.[4] Inside the village is St. Peter's church, which dates from the thirteenth century. Opposite the church is Primrose Cottage, a stone-built cottage dating back to the seventeenth century, where several generations of one family once lived and are now buried in the church yard.
