Subtitled A History of the Hundred of Macclesfield, this important work was published in two volumes in 1877 and 1881. The area covered is that of the old hundred of Macclesfield, which includes the important townships of Stockport, Macclesfield, Wilmslow and the conurbation to the south of Manchester. The author was systematic and thorough in the book's arrangement, and includes detailed genealogies of the local gentry.
