Chaddesden, also known locally as Chadd, is a large residential suburb of Derby, United Kingdom. Historically a separate village centred on Chaddesden Hall and the 14th century St Mary's Church, the area was significantly expanded by 20th-century housing developments, and was incorporated into Derby in 1968. History There is evidence of Roman settlement such as Nottingham Road, a Roman road. The old village, recorded in Domesday Book as "Cedesene", is situated two and a half miles east of the city. In 1086 it was a manor in the possession of Henry de Ferrers and was worth the sum of three pounds. The focal point of the village is probably the ancient church of St Mary's. It is important as a dated example of church architecture before the advent of the perpendicular style. It was rebuilt by Henry Chaddesden, Archdeacon of Leicester, around 1357. The tall and spacious chancel running from its nave and aisle, dates from this period. Its west tower is perpendicular in style with its big west door and window. Restoration work on the chancel was carried out in 1857 by G. Place. Chaddesden Hall and its estate were sold in 1918 by the Wilmot family. The estate was immediately divided up and re-sold to multiple purchasers, this process sometimes being repeated with the outcome being house building plots. Roe Farm, formerly at the west end of the parish, was acquired by Derby Corporation in 1930 and became the site of their largest pre-war housing estate. Other major developments in the 1930s were the shopping areas on Nottingham Road and Wiltshire Road, and the Wood Road Estate (Rupert Road, Max Road etc.) from 1936. Government The area is covered by the Chaddesden ward of Derby City Council. The ward has three councillors, elected in successive years. Following the May 2019 elections, the ward has three Conservative councillors. Chaddesden has been part of the Derby North parliamentary constituency since the seat's creation in 1950. Chaddesden was formerly a civil parish within Shardlow Rural District before being absorbed by the then county borough of Derby. Geography Chaddesden lies to the east of Derby city centre, with the A52 road forming its southern boundary. It is bordered by the wards of Spondon, Oakwood and Derwent with Erewash to the north. The Chaddesden Brook runs southwest through Chaddesden Park towards the River Derwent. Demography The population at the 2011 census was 13,413,
