The hamlet is namedAnglo Saxon in origin, meaning,Dodda's Ford in modern English.[3] Although, originally in the parish ofBiddlesden, the hamlet was annexed to Stowe in the 17th century to provide extra living accommodation for theservants of the newmanor house.
The hamlet still exists today, though it remains quite small in size. It has never had a public house but had a shop and post office until the 1980s. It has retained an iconic red telephone kiosk.[4]
