Church History

In 1863 it became the district church for part of the township of Stayley (previously served by Stalybridge: St. Paul). The boundaries of "The District Chapelry of Saint James, Millbrook" were described in the London Gazette on 15 September 1863:

"All that part of the particular district of Saint Paul, Stalybridge, in the county of Chester, and in the diocese of Chester, wherein the present incumbent of such district now possesses the exclusive cure of souls, which is situate to the north of an imaginary line extending along the middle of Brushes Brook otherwise called 'Mear Brook'. "

The district was affected by the following boundary change:

  • 1962 January 25 — reduced when the village of Micklehurst was transferred to Micklehurst: All Saints.
