This entry is confused with that of Daisy Hill which was a separate society.
Manningham was opened 1879, the architect being Thomas Howdill.
I remember Heaton Road Church, but it did not close until well in the 60s. I went to service there in 1964. Heaton Road and the Manningham Methodist Church then closed and with the sale of St Johns the three congregations joined to build the Trinity Methodist Church in Lillycroft
