Diddlebury church and footbridge over tributary of the River Corve.
Diddlebury is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England lying in Corvedale on the B4368 road about 5 miles north east of Craven Arms.
The name "Diddlebury" is thought to have originated from that of a local Anglo-Saxon chieftain Duddela an Old English name and 'burgh' (meaning dwelling or settlement and probably fortified).
St Peter's parish church has unusual but distinctive herringbone internal stonework facing to the north wall of the nave from Anglo-Saxon times.
Between the river Corve and Pye brook to the east lie the ringwork and other remaining earthworks of Corfham Castle.
