Custodial history:
The origins of this circuit lie in Manchester Wesleyan Methodist Circuit which was established in the second half of the eighteenth century. In 1786 the Stockport Circuit was formed out of the Manchester Circuit; in 1791 the Oldham Circuit was formed and in 1813 the Salford Circuit was formed. In 1824 the Manchester Circuit was itself split into 'North' and 'South'. The Manchester (North) Wesleyan Methodist Circuit was headed by Oldham Street Chapel and from 1827 was known as Manchester 1st Wesleyan Methodist (Oldham Street) Circuit. In 1863 the Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall churches left to form Manchester 7th Wesleyan Methodist (Cheetham Hill) Circuit and in 1878 other churches left to form Manchester (Victoria) Wesleyan Methodist Circuit.
In 1883 Oldham Street Chapel was transferred to the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission (and rebuilt as Central Hall) and the circuit was re-named Manchester (Oldham Road) Wesleyan Methodist Circuit, headed by Wesley Chapel in Oldham Road. In 1958 the circuit was joined by Manchester (Culcheth) Methodist Circuit and re-named Manchester (Newton Heath) Methodist Circuit. In 1966 Newton Heath Circuit joined with Harpurhey Methodist Circuit and became known as Manchester (North East) Methodist Circuit (not to be confused with the old Manchester North East United Methodist Circuit). The Failsworth ex-Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and the New Moston ex-Primitive Methodist Chapel were added to the new circuit. Although situated in the north east area of Manchester, these two churches had always previously belonged to Oldham circuits.
The new circuit comprised the following churches: Culcheth MNC, Failsworth (Bethel) MNC, Failsworth (Holy Family), Failsworth Wesleyan Methodist, Harpurhey Wesleyan Methodist, Moston (St Mary's Road) MNC, Moston Methodist (ex-Streetfold UMFC), New Moston PM, Newton Heath (Oldham Road)Wesleyan Methodist, White Moss Methodist, Woodhouses Wesleyan Methodist
The North East Circuit lasted only four years after which time it was joined by the Middleton Circuit and re-named Manchester (North) and Middleton Methodist Circuit [for records of this circuit and associated churches see M80].
