Loddington is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) west of Kettering, Northamptonshire, England.

[2] The Domesday Book of 1086 records the toponym as Lodintone, meaning the enclosure, estate or homestead of Luda's people.

[3] The manor of Loddington was held in turn by the De Baud, Kynnesman, Syers, and Allicock families before being acquired by Lord Overstone.[when?]

It was built in about 1290–1300 for Robert de Baud, then in charge of Royal works at Geddington, who had been High Sheriff of Northamptonshire 1280–88.

In 1958, the tramway was converted to standard gauge and worked as a branch from Cransley to Loddington.
