Baguley
Baguley (/ˈbæɡəli/ BAG-əl-ee) is an area and electoral ward of the city of Manchester, in Greater Manchester, England. The population at the 2011 census was 14,794.
The name Baguley is derived from the Old English words bagga (badger, or possibly referring simply to any woodland or hill-inhabiting wild animal) and lēah (clearing or meadow).
Historically in Cheshire, Baguley is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was incorporated into Manchester in 1931.
Baguley is recorded in the Domesday Book with 1.5 ploughlands (one ploughland being the amount of land that can be ploughed by a team of eight oxen). In 1086, the tenants in chief were Gilbert (the hunter) and Hamon de Masci. The Barons de Masci also had control over the manors of Dunham, Bowdon, Hale, Partington and Timperley.
In the 13th century, the Massey Family (Baron Hamon deMascy) was the main landlord in Northenden. Through marriage, the Massey family's land in Baguley passed to the Baguley Family, who built Baguley Hall in the 14th century.
Baguley Hall is a 14th-century timber-framed manor house that may have replaced an 11th- or 12th-century house.
The ownership of Baguley can be mapped through the ownership of Baguley Hall and its manor lands.
Most of Baguley was developed for housing after World War II as part of the Wythenshawe Estate, including many council houses and later tower blocks (a typical one shown at right is Brookway Court); Manchester City Council publications refer to Baguley as "one of Europe's biggest housing estates." However, much of the social housing has been sold off under the Right To Buy scheme and there are also several private housing developments in the area; parkland was provided from the start under the development plan.
