[2] The name Baguley is derived from the Old English words bagga (badger, or possibly referring simply to any woodland or hill-inhabiting wild animal) and lēah (clearing or meadow).

[6] The Barons de Masci also had control over the manors of Dunham, Bowdon, Hale, Partington, and Timperley.

[16] Baguley is part of the Wythenshawe and Sale East parliamentary constituency, which is currently represented at Westminster by Mike Kane MP.

Baguley railway station was opened on 1 February 1866 and closed on 30 November 1964[19] during the Beeching cuts.

Baguley station was mostly served by local trains operating from Stockport Tiviot Dale to and from Liverpool Central, and on a separate line from Stockport to Atrincham, but the station was located on the Mid-Cheshire Line and express trains ran through it.
