About Didsbury
Didsbury’s earliest record dates from 1235, and St James’ Church was refurbished in 1620. It stayed rural until the railway arrived in 1880 and joined Manchester in 1904. Today it’s one of the city’s most sought-after suburbs, five miles from town.
The area splits into Didsbury Village, independent-minded West Didsbury around Burton Road, East Didsbury and Parrs Wood. Fletcher Moss left his Old Parsonage and gardens to the city in 1919, and The Croft was home to RSPB co-founder Emily Williamson
