Overview
Collegiate Church ward was one of the fifteen municipal wards created in 1838,[1] when the Manchester Borough Council was granted a Charter of Incorporation under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.[2]
Initially, the ward's boundaries corresponded with those of Districts No.3 (Collegiate Church) and No.5 (St. Paul's) of the Manchester Township, which covered the Strangeways area and part of what is now the Northern Quarter of the city centre. Its original boundaries remained in place until 1919,[3] when that part of the ward to the west of Corporation Street was divided between the Exchange and St. Clement's wards, while that part of Cheetham ward to the south of Elizabeth Street was transferred to Collegiate Church. Further boundary changes in 1950,[4] transferred more of the Cheetham ward to Collegiate Church. In 1971,[5] the ward incorporated most of the area of the former Hugh Oldham and St. Peter's wards in Manchester city centre. The ward was abolished following another boundary revision in 1982,[6] and its remaining area was divided between the Cheetham ward and the new Central ward.
From 1838 until 1885, the ward formed part of the Manchester Parliamentary constituency. From 1885 until 1918, it was part of the Manchester North West Parliamentary constituency.[7] From 1918 until 1974, it was part of the Manchester Exchange Parliamentary constituency.[8] Between 1974 and its abolition, it formed part of the Manchester Central Parliamentary constituency.
