Wedding venue
St. James Church
The village of Dry Doddington was mentioned in the 1086 Doomsday Book where the name is given as Dodintune. The church itself is dedicated to St. James, the patron saint of pilgrims and can be dated back to the 12th Century.
​
St. James Church is the oldest building in the village and was Grade II listed in 1966 - with the arched doorway being the oldest part of the church. Further history of St. James Church can be found on the Claypole Benefice website - and also on the Westborough & Dry Doddington Parish Council website.
​
It is an impressive building all round, of which the tower boasts a staggering tilt of 5.1 degrees, leaning more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, which is now tilted at 3.97 degrees. It has even been covered in the Daily Mail!
​
This is a perfect venue for your wedding, steeped in history and set on the beautiful village green.
