In spite of the See also:Roman origin suggested by its name, so few remains have See also:beet found here that it is doubtful whether Chester-field was a Roman station.

William Peverell. In 1204 See also:John gave the See also:manor to William Bruere and granted to the town all the privileges of a free borough which were enjoyed by See also:Nottingham and Derby; but before this it seems to have had prescriptive borough rights. Later charters were granted by various sovereigns, and it was incorporated by See also:Elizabeth in 1508 under the See also:style of a mayor, 6 brethren and 12 See also:capital burgesses. This See also:charter was confirmed by See also:Charles II. (1662), and the town was so governed till the Municipal See also:Act 1835 appointed a mayor, 3 aldermen and 12 councillors. In 1204 John granted two weekly markets, on Tuesday and Saturday, and an See also:annual See also:fair of eight days at the feast of the Exaltation of the See also:Holy See also:Cross (See also:Sept. 14). This fair, which is still held, and another on See also:Palm Tuesday, are mentioned in the Quo Watranto See also:roll of 1330. The Tuesday market has See also:long been discontinued. That Chesterfield was See also:early a thriving centre is shown by the charter of John See also:Lord See also:Wake, lord of the manor, granting a gild See also:merchant to the town. In 1266 the town was the See also:scene of a See also:battle between the royal forces and the barons, when See also:Robert de Ferrets, See also:earl of Derby, was taken prisoner. In 1586 there was a terrible visitation of the See also:plague; and the parliamentarian forces were overthrown here in the See also:Civil See also:War. With the development of cotton and silk industries the town has increased enormously, and is now second in importance only to Derby among the towns of the See also:county. There is no See also:record that it ever returned representatives to See also:parliament.
