Chelmsford, County town in Essex, England

Chelmsford extends across 132 square miles of Essex countryside, containing both urban developments and rural settlements along the River Chelmer valley.

The Romans established a settlement called Caesaromagus in the area during the first century, building a fort and mansio for travelers.

The Chelmsford Cathedral, elevated from a parish church in 1914, stands as the mother church of the Essex diocese with its 15th-century architecture.

The railway station provides direct connections to London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes through the Great Eastern Main Line network.

Guglielmo Marconi opened the first radio factory here in 1899, leading to the transmission of regular entertainment broadcasts in 1920.
