Great Baddow's name is believed to have been derived from the River Beadwan, now known as the River Chelmer, which marks the northern boundary of the village. Beadwan is thought to be a Celtic word of uncertain meaning, possibly "birch stream" or a reference to the goddess Badbh. The centre of Great Baddow is now a Conservation Area and contains over 30 listed buildings.
Development
During the early part of the 20th century, Great Baddow grew through ribbon development towards Chelmsford and Galleywood. In 1936, Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company opened the Marconi Research Laboratory in Great Baddow (now BAE Systems Advanced Technology Centre), bringing together their various radio, television and telephony research teams in a single location. As the electronics industry developed the campus expanded during the 1940s and 1950s to include research into radar, general physics, high voltage, vacuum physics and semiconductors. Great Baddow expanded considerably in the 1950s with the construction of Rothmans Estate, which provided housing for workers at Marconi's and English Electric Valve Company in Chelmsford. The village has continued to expand over subsequent years.

In twilight Where rain and gray aren't innocent None of us are Shadow life The light is dim and paranoid This is all we have Now we leave this place Between the light and the dark there's a comfortable grey From all I've known I'm leaving today Don't make me turn away When the Light comes (from far away) I'm closing my eyes in shadow When Darkness takes me (so far away) I look for the Light and find that you can't have both I look around See through myself and to the ground For I am empty What I have It's all I've got and is the cause of pain within me Now we leave this place Between the light and the dark there's a comfortable grey From all I've known I'll have to part ways I won't go through this, the divorce is too great I will not let go of all I've never wanted Must I turn away my only hope to see the day?
