Great Doddington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great Doddington is a village and civil parish within Northamptonshire in the United Kingdom, located close to Wellingborough and lying just off the A45.
The name Dodda's Tun probably refers to an Anglo-Saxon leader 'Dodda' establishing a stronghold in the strategic position overlooking the Nene Valley. Domesday Book records the principal landowner as Judith, widow of Waltheof II, Earl of Northumbria.
The Church of England St Nicholas Church dates back to Norman days and has a square tower. In terms of services the village contains a single pub, a hairdressers, a village shop, a post office and two churches, St Nicholas and a United Reformed Church.
The civil parish contains two wards. [1]
