The Diocese of Manchester is to transfer its headquarters into Bury town centre as it leaves central Manchester. The diocese, which runs the Church of England throughout Greater Manchester, is vacating its current base, Church House on Deansgate, Manchester, to move to St John’s House, The Rock, Bury.
The diocese currently employs around 80 staff who support hundreds of churches and related functions in the region. Earlier in the summer the diocese sold Church House, an 80,000 sq ft office building fronting Deansgate, to development and investment firm Novo.
Church House is also home to Gaucho, Cote and Toni and Guy, among others.
