Dodderhill is a civil parish just outside the village of Wychbold, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. It is home to Droitwich transmitting station. There was once a Roman fort and later an Anglo-Saxon church. The current church, St. Augustine's, is on the hill overlooking Droitwich Spa. It was completed in 1220 and rebuilt in the 18th century. A passageway is said to lead from St Augustine's, to Friar Street Droitwich Spa, part of a system of tunnels linking St Augustine's and St Andrew's churches. Notable people associated with Dodderhill include the MP Thomas Vernon, part of whose family estate was located in the parish; and the royalist Sir Thomas Nott, who bought the manors of Sagebury and Obden in Dodderhill in 1637.
