• 1868 June 15 — reduced when the township of Baguley and part of the township of Timperley were  transferred to Baguley: St. John the Divine.
• 1934 May 18 — reduced when the part of the township of Baguley was transferred to Baguley: St. John the Divine.

The district also included the chapel of Timperley: St. Andrew, and the mission church of Hale: St. David.
