Wardleworth was a township at the geographic centre of the Parish of Rochdale, in Salford hundred, Lancashire, England.〔(A vision of Butterworth Tn/CP )〕 The principal estate of this township was Buckley. Though the administrative territory has long been abolished, the name continues as a geographic reference frame for that part of Rochdale. Wardleworth was a township that included territory to the northeast of the town of Rochdale, including the hamlets of Buckley, Crankey Shaw and Hamer Fold, 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. 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. ==See also== *Butterworth (ancient township) *Wardleworth railway station 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wardleworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
