Great Doddington is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, sitting amid the rolling agricultural countryside just a few miles from the market towns of Rushden and Higham Ferrers. It has the feel of a traditional Northamptonshire settlement, with period cottages and farm buildings clustered around a village centre and offers pleasant rural views while remaining within easy reach of larger towns.
The community has a long history and retains a historic parish church and other traditional amenities such as a village hall and local pub; historically agricultural, the local economy is now a mix of farming, small businesses and commuters working in nearby centres like Kettering and Wellingborough. Local clubs, seasonal fetes and conservation-minded residents help keep a strong village social life.
