The town of Chapel-en-le-Frith was founded in 1225 by foresters in the Royal Forest of the Peak, who were given permission by the Earl of Derby to build a chapel in the forest (a 'chapel-en-le-frith').
On the sloping land between the parish church and market street, there is a well preserved Old Town, with cobbled streets, including Church Brow. In the market square there are stocks possibly dating back to the Cromwellian period, a preaching cross, horse trough erected to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and a War Memorial.
