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.

Bringing back a boy from Great Baddow
On Monday, I took an elderly lady to a re-homing kennel. I also brought her back, but with 'Beejay', a 9 year old Yorkshire Terrier. Nice little chap.

Moment Virginia McCullough admits killing her parents
A woman who murdered her parents and then lived alongside their bodies for four years told police who arrested her: “Cheer up, at least you’ve caught the bad guy.”
Virginia McCullough, 36, poisoned her father John McCullough, 70, with a “cocktail of prescription drugs” and fatally stabbed her mother Lois McCullough, 71, with a kitchen knife in the summer of 2019.
At a sentencing hearing on Friday, the court heard how McCullough had built a “makeshift tomb” for her father in a ground floor room of the family home, which had been his bedroom and study.
She is then said to have put her mother’s body in a sleeping bag in a bedroom wardrobe on the top floor of their home in Pump Hill in Great Baddow, Essex.

Forensics officers have been spotted carrying out enquiries at an address close to the heart of a double murder investigation in Chelmsford. An eyewitness told EssexLive forensics officers were at an address on The Causeway in Great Baddow.
The address is less than a minute's walk from an address on Pump Hill where police have been investigating a double murder.
Photos seen by EssexLive show a number of specialist officers wearing all-white protective gear standing next to perimeter fencing near a property in Great Baddow.
The Causeway is a busy road in the Essex village acting as a bus route and it runs across the front of The Vineyards shopping parade.
EssexLive put the eye witnesses' claim to Essex Police and asked whether the activity was connected to the ongoing investigation into the deaths of John and Lois McCullough.
A spokesperson was unable to confirm or deny it, but did say: "As part ongoing work connected to the investigation, officers are continuing to search addresses in and around Pump Hill. This policing presence is expected to continue for the coming days."
