The villages name possibly means 'farm/settlement of Duddel's people' or perhaps, 'farm/settlement connected with Duddel'.

Didlington Hall was a country house, which at one point housed the Egyptological collections of William Tyssen-Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst of Hackney.[3] Apart from the stables and a clock tower, it was demolished in the 1950s. A new house was built on the site in 2007.[4]
