Diddlebury is still occasionally pronounced "delbry". While still very much a present day, if fragmented village, this is almost one of the deserted villages of the Ludlow area, with a few houses near the church. Why were so many villages abandoned on the high ground above the Teme Valley? Both on the Clees and Bromyard uplands. A crash in the economics of wool production? Disease? Another feature of the area is the number of motte and bailey earthworks.
