Duddon is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Duddon and Burton, in the unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is on the A51 road and is 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of the city of Chester. Local features include Duddon St. Peter's Church and St. Peter's Primary School. The church was erected in 1835 as a chapel of ease to the parish church at Tarvin. It was built in the early English style at a cost of £603 to the designs of William Railton.[2][3] In 2011 the parish had a population of 655. The civil parish absorbed Burton on 1 April 2015,[4] and on 1 July 2017 the new parish was renamed to Duddon and Burton.[5]
