Summary Cheadle HulmeCheadle Hulme is a suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It lies in the Ladybrook Valley, on the Cheshire Plain, and the drift consists mostly of boulder clay, sands and gravels. Evidence of Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon activity, including coins, jewellery and axes, has been discovered locally. The area was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was a large estate which included neighbouring Cheadle. In the early 14th century, it was split into southern and northern parts. Unlike many English villages, it did not grow around a church; instead it formed from several hamlets, many of which retain their names as neighbourhoods. In 2011, it had a population of 26,479. It has a railway station and is close to Manchester Airport, the M60 and the A34. It is 2.3 miles south-west of Stock Port and 7. 5 miles south-east of Manchester. It was acquired by the Moseley family in the 17th century and became known as C headle moseley. It became a distinct place in its own right in 1974 and is now part of theropolitan Borough ofStockport. The name may have been derived from the Danish word for ‘water meadow’ or ‘island in the fen’ It was once owned by a free Saxon, under Hugh d’Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester, and later became the property of the de Chedle family, who took their name from the land they owned.
