A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Little Whittington from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "WHITTINGTON (Great and Little), two townships in Corbridge parish, Northumberland; 7 and 6½ miles NE of Hexham. Acres: 1,477 and 348. Population: 224 and 19. Houses: 44 and 3."
Little Whittington was a township to the southwest of Great Whittington in the ancient parish of Corbridge. In 1866 it became a separate civil parish. From 1894 it was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1955 it was abolished as a civil parish and its area was absorbed back into the parish of Corbridge.
