Background
History
The parish has been an area of settlement since the earliest times. The ancient Ridgeway traverses the parish just north of the village and the Iron Age hill-fort known as Liddington Castle, which is a scheduled monument, overlooks the present-day village. Liddington is recorded in the late Saxon period, around 940 AD. The Domesday Book of 1086 refers to the settlement as Ledentone. The population of the parish peaked at 454 in 1841 and then gradually declined. The spelling Lyddington has sometimes been used, and still appears in the name of the Church of England parish. The Great Western Hospital, a large district hospital, was built in the north-west corner of the parish in 2002.
