Tetlow Fold, Cheetham

Location

The following map is extracted from Yates' 1786 map of Lancashire and shows Tetlow Fold and its location in relation to Manchester and the surrounding area:

Bill Dowdell has supplied the following map, G1808, Estate Plans Maps, which shows Tetlow Fold, just off the Bury Old Road which runs through Cheetham Hill northwards towards Crumpsall: 

The following map, also courtesy of Bill Dowdell, shows the Tetlow village near Broughton (more usually known as Tetlow Fold, Cheetham) in quite a bit more detail, circa 1848:

History

TETLOW was an estate partly in Broughton and partly in Cheetham, held in the 14th century by a family using the local surname, the service due being the fortieth (later, sixteenth) part of a knight's fee and a rent of 6s. 8d. It passed by marriage to the Langleys of Agecroft, and then descended with the Reddish to the Cokes. The name Tetlow has long been disused, but is preserved in Tetlow Lane. (Victoria County History of Lancashire).

1307-1327. Broughton: Adam Tetlow holds ten acres of land which was that of Jordan de Crompton in Burghton by homage and service, for the 16th part of one knights fee. Vol 58: The Birch Feodary 1307-1327.

1311-1312. Adam de Tetlow holds of the Earl of Lancaster, 1/40 fee in Tettelowe. (also in vol 48). (Lancs Inquest, vol 54)

1323. Adam Tetlow holds 40 acres of land which were Jordan de Crompton's in Broughton by homage and the service of the 16th part of one knight's fee. Vol 54: Lancs Inquests, part II, 1310-1333.

In an article about Strangeways, Tetlow Fold is mentioned:

Martincroft's fine map of 1641 is the earliest map that survives of Strangeways. All fields are shown, together with their names and acreages, both statutory and customary. Strangeways Hall is sketched, together with the mill and the one or two other buildings that then existed. Strangeways Lane, later Great Ducie Street, is but a private bridle track running over the property. In the words of one of Strangeway's inhabitanta who could remember the days before Waterloo: "...the high road was through Strangeways, along Broughton Lane and the Lower Broughton Road, on to Broom Lane, past Clowes Park and through Tetlow Fold to the old Bury Road." The Lane was connected to Manchester by Hunt's Bank Bridge, a simple narrow structure "so insignificant that two vehicles could not pass. It gave entrance to what was called Strangeways Walk, with fields on the left, whilst upon the right were the pleasant grounds of Hunts Bank Hall, the residence of one of the Clowes family."
