Little Stretton, Leicestershire, is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 92, with approximately 36 households. The parish includes the deserted medieval village of Great Stretton, also known as Stretton Magna, a scheduled monument located 0.7 miles to the west of the village. The Gartree Road, a Roman Road, runs through the parish, adjacent to both Little and Great Stretton, and is the reason for those settlements' names. According to the University of Nottingham English Place‑names project, the settlement name Stretton means "strēt" for a Roman road; and "tūn" for a settlement or an estate. The village lies approximately 5.53 miles (8.90 km) southeast of the city of Leicester, offering a rural environment within a short distance of the city centre.
