From the Wikipedia article
Lyddington is a village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. The population of the parish was 383 at the 2021 census. The village's name origin is uncertain. Perhaps, 'farm/settlement of Hlyda' or 'farm/settlement with a noisy stream'. Lyddington Bede House, owned by English Heritage, is a Grade I listed building incorporating parts of a medieval bishop's palace. In 1547 it was seized on behalf of the king from the bishops of Lincoln and later passed to Lord Burghley. In 1600 part of the palace was converted into an almshouse and it continued in this use until 1930. The remains of the fishponds of the bishop's palace are nearby. St Andrew's Church is also Grade I listed. There are two public houses, The Marquess of Exeter and The Old White Hart.
