Agden is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Little Bollington with Agden,[2] in the borough of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is near High Legh, and about 15 miles (24 km) south-west from Manchester City Centre. It is the site of Agden Hall. According to the 2001 census, the population of the civil parish was 146.[1] Because the population is so small, it did not have a parish council, instead, relying on a parish meeting.[3]

History
