Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Towns of Ashton-Under-Lyne, Stalybridge, and Dukinfield Denton; on the south-west, by the township and chapelry of Gorton; on the west, by the townships of Droylsden and F ailsworth. Haughton, Denton, Gorton, Droylsden, and Failsworth, are in the parish of Manchester. Ou the north, the parish is bounded by the township, parochial chapelry, and borough of Oldham. The north-north east, north-north-west, west, and south-west boundary lines are chiefly imaginary. The form of this parochial tract is nearly a square, rendered oblong by a narrow arm on the north-east, intervening betwixt Oldham and Saddleworth, and a broader portion on the south-west.
