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.

Hacton House was located about halway to three quarters down the western perimeter of the area, and as it is a separate entry in the tithe award, its area – quite small in comparison to that of the Mead – is not included in the figure cited for the area above.
