From the Domesday book (opendomesday.org/place/SO8973/chaddesley-corbett) "Chaddesley [Corbett] was a settlement in Domesday Book, in the hundred of Cresslow and the county of Worcestershire . It had a recorded population of 69 households in 1086, putting it in the largest 20% of settlements recorded in Domesday."
From wikipedia "The Domesday Book implies that there was a church at Chaddesley Corbett before 1086, although the present nave dates from the 12th century with later additions. St Nicholas Chapel was added in the 13th century, the chancel and north and south aisles in the 14th century, and the vestry probably added in the 16th century when the south aisle and St Nicholas Chapel were also altered."
