Yeardsley Cum Whaley

Yeardsley-cum-Whaley is a name that is often seen on old documents. This was the name of a township within the ancient parish of Taxal. In 1866, Taxal became a civil parish but was abolished in the 1936 boundary changes when it transferred from Cheshire to Derbyshire. The map below shows the township boundaries as well as adjacent townships. As can be seen from the map, the northern half of Furness Vale fell within the Disley township and parish.
