==History==
The village appears in the Domesday Book as "Lege", there were only five households and the manor was held by William FitzNigel of Halton. Originally in the parish of Great Budworth, an ancient chapel of ease in Little Leigh was fully rebuilt in 1712 and was described as "a mean building of brick, standing defenceless in the highway". The chapel was replaced in 1879 by St Michael and All Angels Church, when Little Leigh became a separate parish. The salary for a schoolmaster had been paid from a bequest since 1728; classes were held in the west end of the chapel until a National School was built in 1840.〔(Little Leigh . Net - Little Leigh History )〕 A Baptist Chapel was built in 1829. It contains a plaque commemorating an early minister, the Reverend Thomas Fownes Smith (1802-1866), who is said to have been the inspiration for the well known folk song, The Farmer's Boy.〔(Little Leigh Baptist Church - The Farmers Boy )〕 In 1872, there was a population of 914 living in 179 houses.〔(A Vision of Britain Through Time - Little Leigh Cheshire )〕
