==History==
The name Baddington is of Saxon origin, and means "Beada's Farm".〔Latham, p. 16〕 It is not mentioned by name in the Domesday survey, the first record being in the period 1175–84.〔Latham, p. 19〕 The civil parish fell within the ancient parish of Acton in the Nantwich Hundred; it was served by St Mary's Church, Acton.〔Latham, p. 9〕 In reign of Edward III (1327–77), the land was acquired by the Bromley family, who had their seat at Baddington Hall.〔Latham, pp. 23, 125〕 A famous member of that family was Sir John Bromley, who served in the wars in France and, according to Hall's ''History of Nantwich'', "heroically recovered the British Standard at Corbie" in 1415, just before the Battle of Agincourt. He was buried at Acton in 1419.〔Hall J. ''A History of the Town and Parish of Nantwich, or Wich Malbank, in the County Palatine of Chester'' (2nd edn), p. 89 (E. J. Morten; 1972) (ISBN 0-901598-24-0)〕 In the 16th century, the Fouleshurst family were also landowners in the parish.〔Latham, p. 25〕 Later the land passed to the Lords Kilmorley, the owner in 1800, who was a major landowner in this part of Cheshire.〔Latham, p. 23〕 A gazetteer entry of 1870–2 mentions twenty houses, with a total property value of £1,715.〔Wilson JM. ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' (1870–2). Quoted in (Vision of Britain Through the Ages ) (accessed 5 April 2008)〕 In 1936, a small area of the civil parish was transferred to Nantwich.〔(Genuki: Baddington ) (accessed 4 April 2008)〕
Part of Baddington and the adjacent parish of Austerson was forest until at least the mid-17th century, with wood being used as fuel for salt production in nearby Nantwich.〔Latham, pp. 25, 36〕 Salt might also have been produced within the parish, as a brine spring is shown on an 1831 map of the area.〔Latham, p. 82〕 The parish formerly had a small water-powered mill and a brick kiln field.〔Latham, p. 83〕 Agriculture was the major land use by the early 19th century.〔Latham, p. 77〕
The road between Nantwich and Edleston crossed the parish; in 1607, the right of way was 12 feet wide.〔Latham, p. 110〕 Transport connections improved in the 19th century with the construction first of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, now part of the Shropshire Union (1835),〔(Acton, Edleston and Henhull Parish Plan ) (accessed 17 August 2007)〕 and then the now-dismantled Nantwich and Market Drayton Railway (1863).〔(The Village of Audlem: Village History ) (accessed 5 April 2008)〕
