In 1891 the parish had a population of 175. In 1897 the parish was abolished and merged with Brothenhampton and Bridport.

Step in off the bustling market-streets of Bridport, West Dorset and discover the wonderful world of the Bull Hotel. Easy-going, informal and bursting with life, this former 17th century boutique coaching inn, lovingly restored by owners Richard and Nikki Cooper, oozes eclectic style and contemporary-rustic charm. www.thebullhotel.co.uk

The Rope Makers ( Dining / Pubs / Bars ). Located at 36 West Street, Bridport, 2 miles from the center of Walditch. The Ropemakers was built in the late eighteenth century by the Gundry family and was originally called The Sun Inn. The building was refurbished by the Brewery in 1989 and the name changed to The Ropemakers to reflect Bridport's main industry as the World's biggest net making centre which was based on the other side of the road. In some ways The Ropemakers is a bit of a Tardis in that the building is much larger than it looks from the street as it stretches back and back ending in a pretty courtyard area that is popular with smokers and drinkers alike. www.theropemakers.com
