Arms of the former Chesterton Rural District Council
Chesterton is a suburb in the northeast corner of Cambridge, England.
It is also the name of two electoral wards (West Chesterton and East Chesterton) in the city. These are roughly the same as the area normally called Chesterton: specifically the land North of the River Cam, east of Castle Hill and south of the Arbury and Kings Hedges estates.

Chesterton is buried in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, in the Roman Catholic Cemetery.
