Doveridge is a village and civil parish in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, near the border with Staffordshire and about 2 km (1.2 mi) east of Uttoxeter. Its name may come from its having a bridge over the river Dove (i.e. Dove(B)ridge), a tributary of the River Trent. The civil parish population (including Oaks Green) as taken at the 2011 Census was 1,622.^[1]

Doveridge has a pub, the "Cavendish Arms", and a working men's club. The village also has a football team and a cricket team, both quite successful in their local leagues.

History

Doveridge was recorded in the Domesday Book, under the old English name "Dubbige", as belonging to Henry de Ferrers^[2] and being worth one hundred shillings.^[3]

According to legend, Robin Hood and Maid Marian were married under the old yew tree in the churchyard of St Cuthbert's Church in the village. The church is over 900 years old and has an historic peal of bells.

Doveridge hall, designed in the neoclassical style and completed in 1769, was the seat of Sir Henry Cavendish, 1st Baronet; it was demolished in 1938.^[4] This branch of the Cavendish family holds the title of Baron Waterpark.

The A50 from Derby to Stoke-on-Trent used to run through the village. In the 1960s it was planned to widen this road, and Cavendish Lodge, a splendid 16 room, 17th century hunting lodge, belonging to the Lewis family, was demolished. Shortly afterwards the road widening plan was dropped; however a by-pass was built in 1998 to the north of the village.
