Chedworth Parish Council was formed under the Local Government Act of 1894. Its first preliminary meeting was held on 4 December 1894, and the first full meeting on 3 January 1895, chaired by the Rev. Sackett Hope. Fifteen candidates stood for election to the seven seats available. Subsequently, in 1904 again 15 candidates stood for the seven seats, and none of the previous incumbents was re-elected. The Parish Council still has seven members, with the last election in 2023.<ref>{{cite news |date=4 May 2023|title=Election results for Chedworth |url=https://meetings.cotswold.gov.uk/mgElectionAreaResults.aspx?ID=280 |website=Cotswold District Council|access-date=5 January 2025}}</ref> The council holds monthly meetings on the second Monday of each month at the Village Hall.<ref>{{cite web |title=Councillors |url=https://chedworthpc.org.uk/councillors |website=Chedworth Parish Council|access-date=5 January 2025}}</ref>
