History
Caddington was once the center of a thriving brick industry built around the rich source of clay. A "Caddington Blue" was a well-known engineering brick.
Much of Caddington is now urban and there has been much residential development in recent years with the provision of local facilities such as shops, schools and a public hall. Caddington still retains its village green and nearby is the medieval parish church, restored in Victorian times.
