Chorlton's first church was south of Chorlton Green. The chapel, dedicated to St. Clement, was established early in the 16th century, as a chapel of ease to the Church of St. James, Didsbury in the huge ecclesiastical parish of Manchester in the Diocese of Lichfield. The chapel was replaced by another brick-built chapel in 1779. By 1860 there was a need for a larger church and the new St. Clement's Church on Edge Lane opened in 1866, although it was not consecrated until 1896. The old church was eventually demolished in 1949. Old St. Clement's had a churchyard but interments ceased in 1882 except for spaces in existing graves. In 1930, those buried in the churchyard were exhumed and reburied in Southern Cemetery with many of the gravestones being left behind. In the 1980's cleanup efforts used the old gravestones to make a path in the new green area now known as Chorlton Green.
