Chedworth Stream rises close to the village and flows east for about 1.9 miles (3 km) in a narrow valley before joining the River Coln at the point where it is crossed by the ancient Fosse Way.

It is connected with Chedworth village by two long-distance footpaths, the Macmillan Way and the Monarch's Way, both about 1 mile in walking distance.

[3] It is the remains of one of the largest Romano-British villas in England, featuring several mosaics, two bathhouses, hypocausts (underfloor heating), a water-shrine and a latrine.

"[6] The medieval judge and cleric Thomas de Chaddesworth, or de Chedworth, Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and an unsuccessful candidate to be Archbishop of Dublin, was born here in about 1230, and took his surname from the village.

In 1930, Rose Cottage in Chedworth was bought by Henry Ford, who paid for it to be dismantled and transported to Greenwich Village in Dearborn, Michigan, United States.

This ward started in the south at Chedworth and stretched north to end at Dowdeswell.
