About us
Who we are
The Didsbury Parsonage Trust was set up by Didsbury Civic Society in 2011 in order to create a multi-use community hub at the Old Parsonage in Didsbury. The Old Parsonage is a listed building parts of which date back to the seventeenth century. Its most famous resident was Fletcher Moss who bequeathed the house and surrounding land to the City of Manchester in 1919. After a long life as a City Art Gallery the house was latterly used as offices. The Trust raised a considerable amount of money through grants and individual donations to renovate the house and leases the building from Manchester City Council.
It is used for exhibitions, classes, business seminars, talks, weddings and parties. It is seen as an integral part of the community. There are also four offices which are sub-let by the Trust to individual businesses.
