Culcheth Lane, Newton Heath, Manchester, M40 1LS England, M40 1LS United Kingdom Our Trust Deed written in 1821, updated in 1826 and then again in 1854 (when the previous school building was built).

Given the age and complexity of the Trust Deed, here are the main points: The church and the local overseers for the poor used an endowment from William Parnell's will to set up a new school (a school linked to the chapel had been in place for a long time and funded by other endowments in the past) for 15 boys and girls, with the aim of educating the poor of the local area.

Trustees were appointed from the local area and a system agreed for the appointment of future trustees. 15 boys and girls were to be instructed in Religious Studies, reading, writing and accounts.
