History of Disley
The date of the first people to settle in
Disley is not known, although it is likely
that Jacksons Edge and Buxton Old Road
formed part of the road built by the
Romans to link Manchester to Buxton. The
earliest evidence of a settlement in Disley
comes from the name ‘Dystelegh’ thought
to be the combination of a personal name
and that of an early English word meaning a
‘clearing’, possibly in a wooded area.
The first settlers are believed to have been
close to Disley Hall in Higher Disley. Little
is known about the village until the early
part of the 16th century, although it formed
part of the extensive Macclesfield Forest. In
addition there were several farmsteads in
the Disley area; one was at Disley Stanley, where
Disley Golf Club is now situated. The cruckframed
barn from this farm, erected in either the
15th or early 16th centuries, is still in existence
today.
In 1524, Sir Piers Legh of Lyme Hall built and
endowed a small Chantry chapel in the village after
the death of his wife. The chapel, later to become
St Mary’s Church, was consecrated in 1524, thus
providing the village with its own place of worship.
As the population grew in the late 18th and early
19th centuries, the original building proved to be
too small so extensive rebuilding took place in the
1820s and 1830s. Most of the original structure
was destroyed with only the tower remaining
from the original building.
Around 1640, the facilities of the village were
enhanced with the construction of the Ram’s Head
Inn, which was to become an important coaching
inn on the road between Manchester and Buxton.
The present building dates from 1840, when it was
not only a coaching inn, but also a place where
visitors could stay to sample the delights of the
Peak District. With the arrival of the railway in
11

1857, the Ram’s Head lost its coaching trade, but
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it became
a popular venue for those visiting the area around
Disley.
In 1724, the Manchester to Buxton road became
a turnpike road and was gradually improved. In the
early 19th century, the original line of the road
along Jacksons Edge Road and Buxton Old Road
was re-routed to the present A6, making the
journey as far as Whaley Bridge less of a challenge
to horse drawn traffic.
The opening of the Peak Forest Canal in 1797
brought the era of modern bulk transport to Disley.
This encouraged
the development of
industry including
Waterside Cotton
Mill. In the early years
of the 19th century,
the village grew
rapidly with many of
the newcomers being
employed at the mill.
The mill survived
the problems of
the Cotton Famine
between 1862 and
1865, but its location,
relying on water
transport to get its
raw materials to the mill and the yarn to market,
meant that it could not compete with rivals in the
large towns. By 1890, the cotton mill had ceased
production and in its place, a paper mill had
opened up, an industry which is still carried on
today at Waterside.
When the first census was taken, Disley had 995
residents. By 1851, it had reached 2,225 and in
1881 the census recorded that there were 3,312
inhabitants. As a result of boundary changes, when
part of Newtown was taken over by New Mills,
the population fell to 2,260 in 1891. However,
the population started to recover and with new
12

developments taking place in the 1960s
and 1970s, had reached 4,295 in 2011.
Thanks to the generosity of the Leghs
and Orfords, a school room was built in
the centre of the village in 1825, which
was extended in 1837 to include an
infants’ department. These buildings
continued to serve as a village school
until 1911 when the school moved to a
new building.
The Orfords also generously donated
the Fountain in Fountain Square to
provide the village with clean water. The
stone came from a quarry on Jacksons Edge Road.
By the middle of the 19th century, the
railway network was spreading throughout the
country. The
first proposals
for a line were
made in 1852
and, in the
following year,
the Stockport,
Disley and
Whaley Bridge
Railway was
authorised by
Parliament.
Work on
constructing the
line started in
1854 and by the summer of 1857, it was opened
as far as Whaley Bridge, reaching Buxton in
1863. The arrival of the railway provided Disley
with a fast, reliable link to Manchester. A second
railway line was built through Disley in 1902 by
the Midland Railway Company, but for most of its
length in Disley, it is in a tunnel, the vents of which
can be seen around the golf course.
It was during the last years of the 19th century
and the early years of the 20th century, that new
housing began
to be erected.
Residential
property around
the railway
station was in
demand to serve
commuters
wishing to live in
the country, yet
be able to travel
into Manchester
for work. In
the 1960s and
1970s, with the
construction of houses on Chantry Road and
The Ridgeway, the commuter population rapidly
increased, encouraged by the regular train service
and the growing level of car ownership.
The last few years of the 19th century saw
further changes in the village. Apart from the
boundary changes in the 1880s, Disley became a
Rural District Council within Cheshire in
1894, bringing with it a certain amount of
self-government for the village.
Disley lost its status as a Rural District
Council when local government was
reorganised in 1974, the village becoming
part of Macclesfield, although it did retain
some independence with the creation of
Disley Parish Council. Changes took place
once again in April 2009 when, whilst
still maintaining its Parish Council status,
Disley became part of Cheshire East
Unitary Authority.

Disley Welcomes Walkers
As one of the main gateways to the Peak
District, Disley makes an ideal centre for
walkers. It offers excellent public transport links
from Manchester, Stockport and Buxton and
has a variety of walks to suit all ages and abilities.
The Parish of Disley and Newtown covers
3½ square miles and enjoys superbly varied
scenery: wooded valleys, rolling farmland
and typical Pennine moorland, punctuated by
rocky outcrops of Millstone Grit. There are
over 22 miles of footpaths offering everything
from gentle rambles to more strenuous walks.
There are six ‘promoted routes’ which start
in, pass by or go through Disley, including
the Gritstone Trail, Midshires Way and North
Cheshire Way. Many of these footpaths follow
ancient routes, while others were established
in the 18th and 19th centuries to serve the
developing mining, quarrying and textile industries.
Disley is the start and end point of The Gritstone
Trail, a long-distance footpath of 35 miles in total.
The first stage of 10.3 miles leads from Disley to
Tegg’s Nose; the second, of 15.3 miles, from Tegg’s
Nose to Timbersbrook and the final stage of 9.3
miles runs from Timbersbrook to Kidsgrove. The
official trail is waymarked with yellow discs with a
footprint inscribed with a ‘G’. A map and board by
Disley railway station have more information.
The Upper Peak Forest Canal winds its way
through the northern part of the parish and affords
opportunities for buggy-users and those with
limited mobility, for example, to walk through
attractive hilly terrain on a safe, level surface. The
canal also provides a valuable connecting route to
neighbouring parishes for cyclists and walkers and
links in to the rest of the footpath network. The
canal was awarded Keep Britain Tidy’s coveted
‘Green Flag’ status in 2016; only the second canal in
the country to receive this accolade.
In 2015, with strong support from the
community, Disley was awarded Walkers Are
Welcome accreditation. Walkers are Welcome
is a unique community-led scheme that now has
over 100 accredited towns and villages across the
UK. Disley’s accreditation recognises the variety
of well-signposted, well-maintained walks in and
around the village and the breath-taking views they
afford. It also enables Disley to be part of a wider
campaign to secure better facilities for walkers
in the future. Continuing maintenance of public
footpaths, the development of way-marked trails
and better access to the village by public transport
are all promoted by Walkers are Welcome.
The task of maintaining the footpaths is
undertaken by volunteers from local group, the
Disley Footpaths Society (DFS). Bigger tasks
(such as replacing bridges or felling unsafe
trees) and strimming the paths are carried
out by Cheshire East Council’s Public Rights
of Way team and Disley Parish Council. The
Footpaths Society was established in 1999 and
can look back with pride at many achievements
such as paths resurfacing, signpost repairs,
new footpath designations and clearing
overgrown vegetation. The result of all this
hard work is that Disley has some of the best
signposted and maintained paths in Cheshire.
Indeed, in 2004, the society received a
Ramblers Association award for innovation
and excellence in footpath maintenance. The
16

society also offers a number of organised walks
each year and arranges meetings with guest
speakers.
The Disley Towpath Action Group (TAG) is
a volunteer group that works with the Canal
& River Trust to maintain a stretch of the Peak
Forest Canal towpath and is now part of the
Footpaths Society. Walking for Health has
become a policy priority for nearby National
Trust property, Lyme Park, and DFS will be
working with Lyme Park to promote this
for the village as a whole. More information
about the society, including TAG, is available
from Tony Jackson (Chair) at a.r.jackson@
talktalk.net, Pat Featherstone (Membership)
at pat.darter@which.net or on 01663 765058,
or via the Parish Council website at www.
disleyparishcouncil.org.uk/disley-footpathsociety
There is a map, Disley Parish Paths, showing
all the footpaths in the area which includes
full directions for six varied walks. The map
is available to buy at the Parish Offices, the
Library and Fountain News. There are also free
leaflets giving details of two fascinating Heritage
Walks available from the Parish Offices, the
Library and Lyme Perk Café. These walks, and
more information on walking in Disley, are
available to download from the Disley Parish
Council website at: http://disleyparishcouncil.

LThere are a number of local places of interest in
Disley as well as many listed buildings. The centre
of the village and parts of Higher Disley have
been designated as conservation areas so that any
changes have to be in keeping with the appearance
and character of the area.
The Ram’s Head in the centre of the village
is said to have been established in the mid 17th
century as a coaching inn. The present building
dates from 1840-41 when it was an important inn
on the route between Manchester and Buxton.
Some of the extensive stabling is still to be seen
at the side of the car-park. In front of the building,
there is a mounting block to help riders get into
the saddle or even into or out of the coach.
The Fountain, standing in the centre of
Fountain Square, was presented to the village by
the Orford family in 1834. Water was collected
from the hillside near the parish church and piped
into the fountain, where it was stored in a lead
tank at the top. The three arm bracket light fitting
was added in 1999, replacing an earlier light, as
a permanent memorial to the Millennium. Just
outside the railings, surrounding the fountain is a
late 19th century milestone giving the distances to
Stockport and Manchester.
In the village centre there are also two buildings
from the mid 19th century, No.5 Market Street,
which dates from 1824 and across the road No.6,
which dates from 1842.
ocal Places of Interest
Further along, towards Newtown, is the Dandy
Cock which is one of several public houses that
existed in the 19th century. Originally its main
entrance faced Hollinwood Road, but the building
was turned around when the present main road
was constructed in the early part of the 19th
century.
In Higher Disley, Disley Hall, on Corks Lane, is
believed to be on the site of the original settlement
in the area. The building itself has been altered with
the passage of time, but it still retains a sturdiness
that is characteristic of many such former farming
buildings.
Another reminder of the agricultural origins
of the village can be seen at Stanley Hall Farm
Barn on the golf course. The barn is probably
late medieval and still retains its cruck framed
construction.
The Bowstones are two upright stones on the
highest part of the moorland above Lyme Park.
The origin of these two stones is unknown but it
has been suggested that they might have had some
religious significance.
In Lyme Hall itself, there are two Anglo-Saxon
Crosses which were found near the parish church.
In the churchyard there is a stone block in which
there are two holes which is believed to be the
base of the crosses.

Places of Worship
St Mary the Virgin (Anglican)
Disley’s Parish Church stands on a hill overlooking
the village centre. The original chantry chapel was
built by Sir Piers Legh between 1510 and 1524 and
was enlarged during the 19th century to meet the
requirements of a growing population.
Although enlarged, the church still retains some
of the original 16th century building including the
tower. The nave and chancel have a magnificently
decorated ceiling whilst the
windows on the east side are
fine examples of medieval glass.
The stained glass was purchased
by the Legh family at an auction
at Sotheby’s in 1926 and was
originally from Steinfield Abbey in
Bavaria.
From the tower, the peal of six
bells is rung regularly by the Disley
bell ringers. Services are held at St
Mary’s every Sunday.
St Mary’s Church is open for visitors at
weekends: Saturdays 10am-4pm / Sunday 9:30am-
4pm (including services) April-September.

Disley Baptist Church
Wycliffe Hall was opened in 1891 and became the
meeting place for a group of Christians who had
previously met in a cottage on the Crescent. In the
past, the building has served as a base for sports
clubs, amateur dramatics and for meetings of the
Disley Rural District Council in its early years.
The Sunday service, which is appropriate for all
ages, is at 10:30am. During the week, the hall is
used for various activities including the Basement
Youth Club, Tots Time, Who Let The Dads Out?
and Bible study for adults. For further information
contact Revd. James Clarke on 01663 362000 or
email james@disleybc.plus.com
Disley Methodist Church
From 1805 Methodists worshipped in people’s
homes before moving into the Lodge Chapel
on Red House Lane. From 1895 this became
inadequate and a new church was built on Buxton
Road, opening in 1906. This was demolished in
2008 and a new modern church and community
hall opened in 2009, to serve the whole village.
Morning Service 11:00am every Sunday. Holy
Communion, 1st Wednesday in every month at
9:30am.
Disley Quakers
The Quaker Meeting House, Ring o’ Bells, which
still retains some of the original wattle and daub
walls, was probably erected in the 17th century
and, amongst other things, was once a public
house. It became a coffee tavern in 1850 after
losing its licence to sell alcohol at the request of
the Dowager Lady Newton. It was used for early
meetings of Disley Rural District Council.
During the mid-20th century the building was
acquired by the Religious Society of Friends and
converted into a Meeting House. Over the years
it has been extensively restored and the Meeting
House and its large garden create a very peaceful
ambience. It is also used by local organisations
including the WEA and the Disley Art Society and
is available for letting.
Meetings for Worship are held on Sunday
mornings at 10:15am and all are welcome.

DISLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL
“Pupils' attitudes to learning are outstanding” (Ofsted)
Disley Primary School is a very special place to be. We pride ourselves on
being a happy, caring school where each child is valued as an individual.
We provide a stimulating learning environment which allows every child to
fulfil his/her potential. Ofsted said, “Pupils’ excellent behaviour contributes
to the school’s harmonious and positive ethos……pupils’ attitudes to
learning are outstanding, and are a significant reason for their excellent
outcomes”.
Disley Primary School is a large,
unique building with a combination
of traditional classrooms and more
open, shared teaching areas. We are a
growing school, serving the families of
Disley and neighbouring communities,
and currently have just over 200 pupils
on roll, aged 4 to 11.
We enjoy a close relationship with
Disley village, including the churches
and local businesses. There are
strong links with the Disley Under 5’s
Playgroup, who are on site, and with
Poynton High School.
Visits to the school are welcome by arrangement with
Mrs Heather Taylor, Headteacher.

Rhodes Recreation Ground is near the White Lion
public house on Buxton Road and the Newtown
Playing Fields which has a play area and full sized
football pitch and is located opposite the entrance
to the Peveril Estate on Buxton Road. There is
also a small play area at Bentside, maintained by
Cheshire East Council. On Station Approach there
is a recently refurbished multi-purpose ball court
and shelter
where young
people can
gather to
talk or play
football/
basketball.
In addition
there is the
Memorial
Park on
Buxton Road
West. This
small area,
close to the railway station, has been restored by
PRIDE volunteers, whose efforts have resulted
in Disley receiving several awards. There are
benches and a picnic bench available.
There are three allotment sites in Disley, all
administered by the Parish Council. These are
located at Hagg Bank, Springfield and Newtown.
For details of renting allotments please contact the
Parish Council on 01663 762726.
Behind the Ram’s Head, there are two crown
green bowling greens, whilst further along the A6,
near the entrance to Lyme Park, is Disley Dam
which provides fishing for local anglers who are
members of the Disley & New Mills Angling Club.
The Peak Forest Canal is popular for sailing,
canoeing and walks along the towpath. At Marple,
the canal is joined by the Macclesfield Canal
whilst at Whaley Bridge, there is a branch to the
Bugsworth Basin which has, in recent
years, been restored.
Disley Towpath Action
Group volunteers
maintain and improve the
towpath on the Disley
stretch of the Peak Forest
Canal. The disabled are
able to gain access to the
port and Recreation
canal where it passes under Redhouse Lane. There
is also an active Footpaths Society organising
walks and maintaining footpaths in the area. Disley
Parish Paths maps are available from Disley Parish
Council Office. More information on walking in
and around Disley is available in the special walking
feature in this guide.
On Jacksons Edge Road is Disley Amalgamated
Sports Club, formed in 1899, providing a beautiful
setting for a range of sports including badminton,
cricket, football, lacrosse, squash and tennis.
Facilities include sports pitches, badminton,
squash and tennis courts, a fully-equipped gym,
AstroTurf 5-a-side football pitch and a bar and
function room. Membership is open to all and
new members are very welcome. There are wellorganised
coaching and competitive opportunities,
especially for junior members, run by qualified
coaches.
On the same side of the village is Disley Golf
Club, which was established in 1889.
The course is still in its original location along
Stanley Hall Lane, off Jacksons Edge Road. The
original members met at the Ram’s Head, but soon
moved to a purpose built club house at the corner
of Stanley Hall Lane and Jacksons Edge Road. In
1979 the club built a new club house on the edge
of the course that offers a home-from-home
atmosphere, with a fine snooker table and lounges,
which, together with an active social programme,
attract many non-playing members. The views
from the golf course are amongst the best from
any inland golf course in Britain stretching from
the Cheshire Plains and the Welsh Hills in the West
and the Pennines in the
East. The clubhouse can
be booked for weddings,
parties, christenings, and
funeral commemorations,
catering for up to 120
guests. Contact the club on
01663-764001 (option 4).

isley and Newtown Today
Disley Well-Dressing
Disley launched its inaugural well dressing in June
2011 after an area of land near St. Mary’s Church
was cleared by the PRIDE (People Restoring and
Improving Disley’s Environment) group to make
the Woodland Memorial Garden. An ancient spring
was unearthed which used to supply drinking water
to the Fountain in the village centre. The well was
restored and now the well-dressing festival is an
annual feature on the Disley social calendar. The
event, which is organised by a group of volunteers
working with PRIDE, is held in June.
Cycling Festival
A bicycle sculpture on the Ram Green hints at
Disley’s strong association with cycling. The
sculpture is in commemoration of the cycling
achievements of Dame Sarah Storey and Barney
Storey during the 2012 London Paralympics.
There are also two gold painted letter boxes in
the village dedicated in their honour. Other Disley
cycling champions are Hannah Walker and Sophie
Thornhill. The village now hosts a biennial Cycling
Festival every other September with events all
around the village.
Christmas Tree Lighting
The highlight of the festive season is the Christmas
Tree Lighting evening in early December.
Fireworks, Father Christmas and musical
entertainment combine with late night shopping
and many other festive activities to make this a
magical start to the Christmas period.
