The hundred of Macclesfield was an ancient division of the historic county of Cheshire, in northern England. It was known to have been in existence at least as early as 1242, and it was formed to a great extent from the earlier Domesday hundred of Hamestan.[1][2] In 1361 Edward, the Black Prince was lord of the hundred, manor and borough of Macclesfield.[3]

Parishes

Until 1866 the Hundred of Macclesfield contain the following eight ancient parishes:

  • Alderley
  • Astbury
  • Cheadle
  • Gawsworth
  • Mottram in Longdendale
  • Northenden
  • Stockport
  • Wilmslow

The Poor Law Amendment Act 1866 provided the townships contained within these parishes became Civil Parishes in their own right.

Courts

Courts, or Eyres, were normally held annually in the region, a week after the close of the County Court. The Justice of Chester presided over the courts, and he would spend several days visiting each hundred in the region.
