Great Doddington

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. [ [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1998/19982510.htm Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 2510 ] ]
