The 1842 tithe award for Upminster lists 'Little John's Mead' as the name of a close on the southeast side of Little Gaynes Lane in Hacton, Upminster. Its owner/occupier is listed as the Reverend M. Battiscombe, its state of cultivation as 'Pasture', its area as 1 acre, 3 roods and 26 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2).[1] The field immediately east of Little John's Mead was named Robin Hood.
