Radbourne is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Derbyshire, a few miles west of Derby.

[citation needed] It would appear that Radbourne was part of the lands of the Ferrers, earls of Derby, forfeited to the Crown in the 1260s after the Baronial War, which were ultimately used to endow Edmund of Lancaster, second son of Henry III, and younger brother of Edward I.

In the main the entries in The National Archives that relate to Radbourne are rather mundane, so that in the earliest one, that for 1377 (TNA DL 30/45/520, rot 14d.

), John del Enese and Roger Harwode, the men who answered at the court (?tithingmen), reported that Robert Jort and William Brewode had brewed [against the assise], and were in mercy.

The medieval knight Sir John Chandos, a close friend of Edward, the Black Prince, hailed from Radbourne in the 14th century.
