It is situated on the edge of the Lancashire coalfield, and is drained by the River Irk and several of its tributaries. The land is generally undulating, rising from around 90 metres [300 feet] above sea level in the west to about 140 metres [450 feet] in the east, although the hilliest parts are in the north where a maximum of 155 metres [509 feet] is reached at Chadderton Heights.</b> </p> <p> <b>The name Chadderton - ancient alternatives being Chatterton and Chatherton - is derived from the Celtic &#39;Cader&#39; or &#39;Cater&#39; signifying a fortified place in the hills, with the Anglo-Saxon suffix &#39;tun&#39; indicating a settlement. After the Norman Conquest the township formed the south-eastern boundary of the Fee or Estate of Tottington, with the Barons Montbegon of Hornby Castle, near Lancaster, and later the Barons Lacy of Clitheroe Castle, as the great overlords.</b> </p> <p> <b>Under the feudal system Chadderton had its own local lords, and the Manor of Chadderton and Foxdenton was of importance at county and national level, providing</b> <b>Lancashire with six High Sheriffs, and the Isle of Man with a Governor. Other members of the manorial families resident at Chadderton and Foxdenton Halls, were to be knighted by various monarchs for services to the nation ad crown. The most famous people who were descended from the original manorial family were William Chadderton, Bishop of Chester and later Lincoln, and Lawrence Chadderton, first Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and one of the co-translaters of the Authorized Version of the Bible.</b></p> <p> <b>Within the Duchy and County Palatine of Lancashire, Chadderton formed part of the Hundred of Salford for civil jurisdiction. In 1873, a Local Board of Health was formed to administer the growing town and, in 1894, this became an Urban District Council of eighteen members. For ecclesiastical purposes Chadderton was originally part of the Parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham, within the extensive Diocese of Lichfield. This was later divided to form the Diocese of Chester, and eventually the Diocese of Manchester.</b> </p> <hr> <p><font color="#003300"> <b>The Chadderton Historical</b> <b>Society was founded in May 1975,</b> <b>just twelve months after local government re-organisation and in the past quarter century has undergone periods of</b> <b>expansion and consolidation . Our</b> <b>first meeting place was the historic old school in Healds Green, which</b> <b> dates from 1789, and it was amid such rural surroundings that the Society became established on the</b> <b>local scene.</b></font> </p> <p> <font color="#003300"> <b>Eventually the need to find a more suitable location,closer to the centre of Chadderton</b> <b>life and more convenient for</b> <b>public transport, led to the Society</b> <b>approaching Oldham MBC in 1986, to enquire about the use of Chadderton Central Library for meetings, displays of material and storage of artefacts. Support and permission were forthcoming and in May 1987, the Twelfth A.G.M. was the first meeting to be held at the library.</b></font> </p> <p> <font color="#003300"> <b>As the membership increased, and our archives continued to grow, it became obvious that premises of our own, where permanent displays of material could be exhibited, were required in the long term. In 1996, the Society took its first step towards obtaining suitable premises in Chadderton Town Centre where a <i>&#39;Heritage Centre&#39; </i>could be established. This project has not been without its problems but is is hoped that in the not to distant future we will see the scheme become a reality.</b> </font> </p> <p> <font color="#003300"> <b>Back in 1991, the Society was re-organised, gained charitable status, and adopted a constitution.
