Today it is a rural village with good amenities, excellent countryside walks, and a large and well-equipped children's play area.
The place-name 'Coddenham' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Codenham. The name means 'Codda's homestead'. [4]
The village was struck by an F1/T3 tornado on 23 November 1981, as part of the record-breaking nationwide tornado outbreak on that day. [5]
