Moving in Little Fenton: what to know first
Little Fenton is a few homes on three lanes. Biggin Lane, the through road, is tarmac with no pavement, and Sweeming Lane and Ash Lane are the short residential lanes off it; Pickrowfield Lane becomes a farm track and at least one drive is private. Around them is open farmland, Fenton Common, cut by Carr Dike and Ash Row Drain, so give the house name as well as the postcode, and say if a gate or a soft verge could stop a long-wheelbase Transit reaching the door. There is no shop or pub here, so have the kettle and essentials packed in a box that travels with you.
Little Fenton: the local picture
The name means fen farm, with Little added to tell it apart from Church Fenton; the two were recorded together as Fentun in the Domesday Book. Little Fenton was a township in the parish of Kirk Fenton, as Church Fenton was then known, until it became a parish of its own in 1866. Its boundary touches Biggin, Church Fenton and Sherburn in Elmet.
Drains mark out the fields: Carr Dike runs through the hamlet, Ash Row Drain is close by and Bishop Dike a little further, Pickrowfield Lane goes off as a track, and Fenton Dene Farm is about a kilometre away. The Ash Row solar farm stands off Bishopdyke Road, and the Normanton to Colton Junction railway passes about 1.4 kilometres from the houses.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Little Fenton
Little Fenton or Church Fenton: which name should the address use?
Little Fenton, if that is the parish on your address. The two are separate parishes that share the Domesday name Fentun, and postcodes such as LS25 6HG and LS25 6HE belong to Little Fenton, so give the full postcode and the van will not end up in the bigger village.
Is there a pavement on Biggin Lane through Little Fenton?
No. Biggin Lane is a tarmac lane without a pavement, so the van loads from your drive or the nearest safe verge rather than stopping in the lane. Let us know if your drive is gated.
Which way does the van go from Little Fenton to Selby?
East, on lanes: Biggin Lane, Scalm Lane and Broad Lane to Sherburn Road, then the B1223 Wistow Road into Selby. It is about 8 miles.
