Chorley is a civil parish in the borough of Cheshire East in Cheshire, England. The parish is named after the village of Chorley, which was renamed Alderley Edge during the 19th century. Alderley Edge was removed from the parish in 1894, since when the parish of Chorley has just covered the more rural western parts of the old parish. The largest settlement in the parish today is a hamlet called Row-of-Trees in the north of the parish. At the 2021 census, the parish had a population of 490.
