Custodial history:
Stretford was an ancient chapelry within the parish of Manchester. A chapel existed at least as early as 1413 and a chantry was founded about a hundred years later by Sir Edmund de Trafford.A new chapel was built in 1718, enlarged in 1821 and taken down in 1844. This was replaced by the present church, whose foundation stone was laid on 30 September 1841 on a site given by Sir Thomas Joseph de Traf ford. It was consecrated on 10 October 1842.St. Matthew's was assigned as its District Stretford and part of Moss Side townships, from the parish of Manchester, by Order in Council, 14 September 1838 (London Gazette, 29 March 1839.) This was reduced to most of Stretford by Order in Council 8 June 1854, (London Gazette, 16 June).An Order in Council, 31 July 1858 (London Gazette, 13 August) assigned some of the District to St. Thomas's, Old Trafford. However, a Judgement of the Court of Chancery, 16 January 1867 declared that a conveyance of the site and fabric of St. Thomas's to the church Building Commissioners was invalid and the property was reconveyed to Henshaw's Blind Asylum and Manchester Schools for the Deaf and Dumb, and the District reverted to St. Matthew's until 1875, when by Order in Council, 13 May (London Gazette, 14 May) it was assigned to St. Gabriel's Hulme, only to become the District for St. Hilda's, Old Trafford in 1899. (Order in Council 7 October, London Gazette, 17 October).The following new parishes further reduced the size of the original parish:St. Cyprian, Ordsall, by Order in Council 15 May 1900 (London Gazette, 22 May).St. Cuthbert, Old Trafford, by Order in Council 11 June 1902 (London Gazette, 13 June).St. John, Old Trafford, by Order in Council, 11 August 1902 (London Gazette, 12 August).All Saints, Stretford, by Order in Council, 29 January 1904 (London Gazette, 2 February).St. Peter, Stretford, by Order in Council, 10 May 1905 (London Gazette, 12 May).Other alterations to the boundaries of the parish occurred in 1930 when by Order in Council 27 November (London Gazette, 2 December), some was assigned to St Peter's, Stretford, St. John's, Old Trafford, St. Hilda's Old Traf ford, and St. Clement's Chorlton cum Hardy, in 1955 when part was transferred to All Saints and some received from All Saints, by Order in Council, 6 May (London Gazette 10 May), and in 1958 when some was transferred to St. Hilda's, by Order in Council 11 September, (London Gazette, 12 September).
