Weedon is first recorded in Domesday Book, with later mentions in legal documents in the 13th and 14th centuries (B2).
Formerly part of Hardwick parish. A road leads east off the village [of Hardwick] to the hamlet of Weedon, which has Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapels, built in 1854 and 1892 respectively. Here is Lilies, a red brick house, built in 1870, standing in well-wooded grounds, the seat of Mr. Vernon Brittain. At East End is Weedon Lodge, the residence of Mr. Joseph Paine. Weedon Hill is towards the south of the parish (B3).
