Manchester College is not part of the university, but a post-graduate college for Nonconformist ministers. It was founded in Manchester in 1786, transferred to York in 1803, after which it returned to Manchester. It was for a time in London and finally came to anchor in Oxford in the nineties. (From Goulder, Pilgrimage Pamphlets: Oxford & Cambridge, 1963)
(That is, the 1890s.) Now Harris Manchester College, it is a college of Oxford University. Its foundation was Unitarian. For more of its history see their site.
