The Little Dalby Estate is the Ernest Cook Trust's largest and, in many ways, its most complete estate. Extending to {{convert|5600|acre|km2}}, the estate was bought in two parts by Ernest Cook, the northern half from the Burns Harttop family in 1938 and the southern half from Brasenose College in 1940. A further {{convert|480|acre|km2}} comprising Grange Farm, Leesthorpe, was purchased in 1977 with an additional {{convert|280|acre|km2}}, forming Jericho Farm, in 2000. The estate includes Burrough Hill hillfort. The parish church of St James was remodelled in 1851 and is listed Grade II*.[1] Anthony Turner, one of the Jesuits wrongfully executed for treason during the fabricated Popish Plot, was born in Little Dalby, where his father Toby Turner was Rector, in 1628.
