Chaddesden in Derby - Information and services

Chaddesden Chaddesden is a large suburb of Derby, formerly known as Cedesdene and the old village part is situated two and a half miles east of the city. There are many focal points and small shopping centres, possibly the largest ones being on Nottingham Road, Wiltshire Road and Sussex Circus. The focal point of the village is probably the ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, which stands just back off Chaddeden Lane End. It is important as a dated example of church architecture before the advent of the Perpendicular style. It was rebuilt by Henry Chaddeseden, Archdeacon of Leicester, around 1357 and the tall and spacious chancel running from its nave and aisle, dates from this period. It 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. The church contains a rood screen and an unusual chalice shaped font, believed to be over 600 years old. There are monuments to the Wilmot family who were local landlords. In the church yard is a small mound, where 6 almshouses use to stand. They had been founded by Robert Wilmot. The family lived at Chaddesden Hall, which was demolished in the 1920`s when the Wilmot family sold its estate. The grounds are a well used park, which contains a paddling pool and childrens play area as well as facilities for sports like cricket and golf. Derby acquired much of the land when it came up for sale and started to build houses on it. The shopping area on Nottingham Road was developed around the same time, as was the then, Chaddesden Park Hotel. St Marks Church in Francis Street was built in 1938 by Naylor & Sale, and St Philips Church in Taddington Road was built in 1954-55 by S.W Milburn to service an ever expanding population, Chaddesden soon becoming the largest suburb of Derby. The lodge and the entrance to the cemetery on Nottingham Road was designed by H.I Stevens around 1854. The name of Wilmot is still used by the local pub and garage.
