Unitarian College, Manchester

[1] It prepares students for ministry and lay leadership positions in the Unitarian and Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Churches.

[4] It was established in 1854 by the Unitarian Home Mission Board.

What is now Harris Manchester College, Oxford started off as a dissenting academy based on another one in Warrington.

It then moved to the capital as "Manchester New College, London", in University Hall, Gordon Square (i.e. Dr Williams's Library[5]) 1853–1889.

It was the move of the original academy to London in 1854 that occasioned the need for a separate establishment in Manchester.
