Edensor is a small village located close to the Chatsworth Estate as well as a civil parish in Derbyshire.
Most of the village belongs to the Dukes of Devonshire, who use the churchyard of St Peter's Church as a burial ground.
The village was originally located close to the River Derwent immediately below Chatsworth, but between 1838 and 1842 the 6th Duke, William Cavendish, had it moved out of sight over a hill away from the hall, all apart from one cottage whose tenant would not move, which still stands in Chatsworth Park today. The planning of the new village was overseen by Joseph Paxton, in 1840 he was joined in designing houses by John Robertson.
The Chatsworth Estate office occupies a brick building close by, which was built as an inn for visitors to Chatsworth in the 18th century and attributed to James Paine. Many of the buildings in the village are listed buildings, along with the church.
