In 1825 an Act was obtained for the better govern- ment of the township.' On the incorporation of the borough of Manchester in 1838, Ardwick was in- cluded ; together with Beswick it formed a ward. It was merged in the new township of South Manches- ter in 1896. A mock corporation held its meetings from 1764 onwards, a mayor and other officers being elected.

In 1282 the farm of I o oxgangs and 9 acres of land in bond- age amounted to 43^-., and there was a plat of land there called Twantirford, rendering 6s. 8a'.' The tenants had turbary on 100 acres of moor in Open- shaw, and were obliged to grind at the Irk Mills to the sixteenth measure.'
