WARDLEWORTH

'Wardleworth' was a township at the geographic centre of the Parish of Rochdale, in Salford hundred, Lancashire, England.^[1] The principal estate of this township was Buckley.
Wardleworth was a small township which included territory to the northeast of the town of Rochdale, including the hamelts of Buckley, Crankey Shaw and Hamer Fold,^[2] and, although close to the village of Wardle, Wardleworth did not contain this settlement, which was instead within the neighbouring township of Wuerdle and Wardle.
In 1830, Wardleworth was recorded to have 6,451 inhabitants.^[3]
The Buckley and Entwistle families are recorded to have been the principal landowners of this township, with Buckley Hall being the seat of the estate-holders for many years.
