In 1900, the parish was abolished and it instead became part of the Hazel Grove and Bramhall civil parish and urban district.^[1] Hazel Grove and Bramhall Urban District was abolished in 1974 and as Bosden Farm, the area has since formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester.^[2]
