“LITTLE WYMONDLEY, a parish in the hundred of Broadwater, county Herts, 2½ miles S.E. of Hitchin, and 1 mile S. of Great Wymondley. It is situated on the Hertford road, near the line of the Great Northern railway and the small river Hiz. Wymondley House was for some years the home of Coward College, founded in 1729 by W. Coward, Esq., for the education of Protestant Dissenting ministers, and of which Dr. Doddridge was the first tutor, but in 1838 the college, with its library, museum, &c., was removed to Torrington Square, London, and is now merged in New College, St. John's Wood. There are no remains of the priory of black canons founded by Richard Argentine in the reign of Henry III., the revenue of which at the Dissolution was returned at £37 10s. 6d., but an ancient well and some avenues of stately box trees mark its site. The living, which was given to the Needhams, is a donative curacy, value £20. The church is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. The Baptists have a chapel.
