In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Little Brickhill like this:
BRICKHILL (Little), a village and a parish in Newport-Pagnell district, Bucks. The village stands near Watling-street and the Bletchley and Bedford railway, 2 miles SE of Fenny-Stratford station. It formerly had a weekly market; and was, at one time, a seat of assizes. The parish comprises 1,360 acres; and its Post Town is Great Brickhill, under Bletchley station. ...

The church was restored in 1865. There are a national school, and charities £77. A popular rhyme says, respecting the three Brickhill villages,- "Here stand three Brickhills all in a row, Great Brickhill, Little Brickhill, and Brickhill of the Bow."
