In the Domesday Book of 1086, Doddington is written as "Dodingtone", in the Hundred of Graffoe, in Kesteven. It held 21 households, 14 villagers, 6 smallholders, a church with priest, and 4 ploughlands.[4] Before the Conquest, lordship was held by Aelric son of Mergeat; after, the abbey of Westminster St Peter became Lord and Tenant-in-chief.[5]

Doddington's Grade II listed parish church is dedicated to St Peter.[6][7] The church was rebuilt in 1771 but retained its Early English font;[8] the rebuilding was under the auspices of Lord Delaval.[9] Pevsner notes that the architects, Thomas and William Lumby, retained and copied north aisle details from the previous Decorated building, and that the church holds a c.1569 chalice, a 1670 alms basin, a 1706 flagon by John Bodington, and a 1706 paten by William Fawdery.[10]

John 'Jack' Delaval (1756-1775), the last male heir of the Delaval family, died aged nineteen and was buried in St Peter's Doddington. Reportedly the church interior was painted black for the funeral.[11]

Other listed structures include farm houses, cottages and occupational buildings.[12]

Within the village is the Grade I listed Elizabethan house, Doddington Hall,[13][14] a former seat of the Northumbrian Delaval family.[15] The house is E-plan, and surmounted by three octagonal brick turrets with leaded cupolas.[8]
