History

Whaley-cum-Yeardsley was historically a township in the ancient parish of Taxall, [2] in 1866, the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws, and so Yeardsley cum Whalley became a civil parish. [3] At the 1931 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Yeardsley cum Whalley had a population of 1745. [4]
