Chelmorton ( Old English Ceolmaer's hill) is a village and a civil parish in the Peak National Park, the Derbyshire Dales and the White Peak. The population of the civil Parish at the 2011 Census was 322. The village is often described as linear with medieval strip fields radiating horizontally from a main street, rising up a gradual hill.
The parish church of Saint John the Baptist is 11th century. At the opposite end of the village stands its oldest dwelling, Townend Farm, built originally by Isaiah Buxton in 1634. With its four Venetian windows and pedimented doorway it is also known locally as Chelmorton Hall. This ancestral home and family seat of the Marsden family has an enclosed courtyard with elaborate outbuildings. The Church Inn is at the bottom of Chelmorton Low. Other sites of interest are the Rakes, and the source of the village's traditional water supply, Illy Willy Water.
The village is located between Bakewell and Buxton. Children from Chelmorton go to Harpur Hill Primary School, Buxton Community School, Monyash Primary School and Lady Manners School.
