Chorlton-by-Backford is a former
ceremonial county of Cheshire, England, approximately 3 mi (4.8 km) to the north of Chester. It was abolished in 2015 and merged into the civil parish of Backford.[1]
Chorlton Hall is a Grade II listed building within the area.[2]
In the 2001 census it had a population of 80,[1][3] increasing to 124 at the 2011 census.[4]
The name is likely derived from the Old English words ceorl (meaning a free peasant) and tūn (a farmstead or settlement).[5]
