Deddington – at one time Daedintun – means ‘the place of the people of Daeda’ – an early Saxon Lord.

Acknowledgements

Deddington OnLine website was created in 1999 as a Millennial project on the initiative of Colin Robinson and Charles Newey hosted by Granary Publications (Martin Reed and Elizabeth Burak). In 2019 the COMMUNITY section became its own seperately hosted and edited website but still called Deddington OnLine. The History section then became part of the Parish Archive as its own website thanks to Martin Reed who has continued to host it and provide ongoing technical support. Furthermore, as a pro bono ‘hobby’, Martin has devised the software program that has saved the site, and its key ancillary documents, as PDFs to ensure that all this research will remain available to researchers for the future.

A PDF file makes a good archive format but cannot capture all the functionality of a website. This PDF contains a virtual print of each web page at the time of archiving, along with any images that each web page links to (such as full size versions of thumbnails). Links are preserved where possible.
