In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ridley like this:

Pop, 232. Houses, 40. The manor belonged to the Ridleys; passed to the Lowes; and, with R. Hall, belongs now to the Davidsons. The woods connected with the hall areremarkably picturesque; and extend several miles, upboth sides of the Allen, toward Staward-Peel.
