The Domesday tenant of Little Odell was Ernulf de Ardres, but by the beginning of the 13th century it had become the possession of his heir the Count of Guînes. Subsequently it is found in the hands of the Wahulls who owned the larger manor. In 1278 the manor, then held by John de Wahull, included 1 carucate, containing 200 acres of land, meadow and pasture, an ancient park, 20 acres of common, 20 acres of woods, a fishery in common with Walter Trailly from Harrold Bridge to Great Odell Mill. He had 12½ virgates of land in villeinage held by nineteen servi for 20s. each virgate or works. He had ten free tenants who held by small money rents, or quit-rents, among which may be mentioned a garland of roses and a bundle of rushes. The manor was worth £16 0s. 10½d. in 1304. It has always followed the same descent as Great Odell (q.v.), although invariably differentiated by name.
