Bagnall was one of two township-chapelries in the parish of Bucknall-cum-Bagnall within the larger ancient parish of Stoke-on-Trent. These became separate civil parishes in 1866 and by 1922 most of the population and much of the area had rejoined the County Borough of Stoke-on-Trent. Part of the original township of Bagnall still exists as a civil parish in the Staffordshire Moorlands District east of Stoke-on-Trent. It is just to the northeast of the Stoke-on-Trent urban area. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 700.

The siting of the early settlement at Bagnall probably owes its origins to some sort of religious observance, it being sited at a place where cross-moorland routes converged. It was certainly on the old salt route to Weston upon Trent.
