"WERNITH, a township in the parish of STOCKPORT, hundred of MACCLESFIELD, county palatine of CHESTER, 4¼ miles (E. N. E.) from Stockport, containing 1804 inhabitants, most of whom are employed in the manufacture of hats and cotton goods, with calicoprinting. Gee-Cross, so named from a cross erected there by the family of Gee, is the most considerable village in the township; it consists of a spacious street half a mile in length, on the high road from Stockport to Mottram in Longdendale, and is intersected by the Peak Forest canal. There is a place of worship for Unitarians, with an extensive cemetery and a Sunday school attached. A court baron is annually held; and there are fairs for cattle, on April 28th and November 20th. Coal and freestone are plentiful in this township. From a hill, called Wernith Lee, which is enclosed and cultivated to its summit, are most extensive and varied prospects, including views of Manchester, Stockport, Ashton under Line, Oldham, Mottram in Longdendale, &c., bounded by the Cheshire and Derbyshire mountains."
