Great Baddow is an urban village in the Chelmsford borough of Essex, England. It is close to the county town, Chelmsford and, with a population of over 13,000, is one of the largest villages in the country.

Great Baddow (Baddow meaning 'bad water'[1]) was named after the River Baddow (now known as the River Chelmer) which runs a mile or so east of the village. The centre of Great Baddow is now a Conservation Area and contains over 30 listed buildings.
