Background
History
The town was established by the Normans in the 12th century, originally as a hunting lodge within the Forest of High Peak. This led to the Anglo-Norman-derived name ("chapel in the forest"). (It appears in a Middle English form in a Latin record as , in 1401.) The population at the 2011 census was 8,635.
Visiting
Scenes from the BBC Television series The Village and The Secret of Crickley Hall were filmed in and around Chapel; Bowden Hall featured in both series. In 2015 Halfords made their Christmas advert around Rowton Grange Road in Chapel-en-le-Frith.
