Historically, Doddington was one of the largest parishes in England. This talk charts the Rectors of the Parish dating back to the 13th century. The presentation of the Living was in the gift of the Bishop of Ely until 1601, when the Manor and right of presentation passed to the Peyton family, though there had been some Crown presentations during vacancies in the see of Ely.
A number of these rectors had interesting careers and are the subjects of this talk.
