HISTORY

Dunchideock's name is of Celtic origin. The parish is listed in the Domesday Book as Donsedoc where the two parts of its name: dun (fort) and coediog (wooded) refer to the Iron fort of Cotley Castle which is located nearby.

Haldon House , the home of Sir Robert Palk, 1st Baronet, used to be within the parish. Most of the house was demolished in the 1920s. Today, the remaining wing of the house is the Best Western “Lord Haldon Hotel.”
