Marple, Greater Manchester history
Etymology
The first reference to Marple in written history was to Merpel, believed to be derived from the Old English maere pill, meaning ‘the stream at the boundary’
Early history
Scientists estimate that the earliest residents of the area settled several millennia ago. There are clues to their existence around the Ludworth area where there are standing stones and tumuli. This was confirmed around 1998 when an archaeological dig in Mellor revealed many clues about the existence of Marple’s earliest residents. The area was predominantly within the Macclesfield Forest and was omitted from the Domesday Book survey.
Recent history
Marple grew as a residential suburb of Stockport after the arrival of frequent bus and rail services in the 1920s. In 1936, Marple Urban District, at the time part of Cheshire, annexed from Derbyshire the parish of Ludworth and Mellor.
