Oddingley is a tiny, rural village and civil parish in the district of Wychavon, in the county of Worcestershire, England. Set amid arable fields and hedgerows a short drive from Droitwich Spa and Worcester, it has the feel of a clustered hamlet with a small parish church and a scattering of cottages rather than any significant commercial centre.
The village is best known in local history for a notorious early 19th-century murder of the parish rector, an episode that has kept Oddingley in county anecdotes and legal curiosities. Today the economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns; socially it remains a quiet, close-knit community with few amenities, relying on surrounding villages and towns for shops and services.
