Chadstone is a hamlet in Northamptonshire, just south-west of Castle Ashby, and north of Denton, to the east of Northampton.

This hamlet is on the course of a minor stream on which are a series of manmade ponds. By Chadstone are the Paradise Ponds, an elaborate arrangement of ponds and water-courses, probably constructed in the 18th or early 19th century (and existing in their present form in 1840) but which may have originated as mediæval fishponds. The site is at the location of the old Chadstone hamlet, or which extensive remains are found.[1]

Chadstone appears in the Domesday Book: a total population of 14 people is recorded [1]
