Little Thorpe
Coordinates: 54°46′41″N 1°20′38″W / 54.778°N 1.344°W Little Thorpe is a hamlet or village in County Durham, England.[1] It is situated between Easington and Peterlee.
This small settlement literally derives its name from the fact it is a small village, as "Thorpe" is Anglo-Saxon for village.
It seems to have been a community that was originally centred on a farmstead, and most of the buildings appear to be in the Elizabethan style, but are more probably Victorian in age.
