It's believed that Doddi was a Saxon landowner who settled in a clearing (leigh) of the forest.
Parking in this village , locally referred to as 'Doddy' , is virtually impossible unless you are planning to visit the well known Nobody Inn, which once served as a church house.
The area south of the village was well known historically for its mining activities.
