Doddington is a village in the civil parish of Doddington and Whisby in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 319. The parish lies 5 miles west of Lincoln, to the north of the A46 road, and is bounded to its west by Nottinghamshire. It includes the hamlet of Whisby, and parts of the Whisby Moor Nature Reserve.
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. Before the Conquest, lordship was held by Aelric son of Mergeat; after, the abbey of Westminster St Peter became Lord and Tenant-in-chief.
Doddington’s Grade II listed parish church is dedicated to St Peter. The church was rebuilt in 1771 but retained its Early English font; the rebuilding was under the auspices of Lord Delaval. 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.
