Friends of the Parsonage

The Old Parsonage is a Grade 2 listed building, bequeathed to the people of Manchester by Fletcher Moss in 1919.

This historic building has been lovingly restored by the Didsbury Parsonage Trust and is now a valuable and much-loved community space, open to all. In the spirit of Fletcher Moss, we aim to continue to preserve the house for future generations.
