The Diocese of Manchester the Parish of St Martin with St Francis Wythenshawe in the Wythenshawe Team 2018 The Parish of St Martin with St Francis The Wythenshawe Team Parish Profile 2018 The Diocese of Manchester The Parish of St Martin with St Francis Wythenshawe in the Wythenshawe Team 2018 Worship space in St Martin’s Church Hall Our Church We are a very caring church, good at welcoming people and hopefully nurturing our present congregation. Over the last three years we have welcomed many asylum seekers most of whom needed specific help with forms and application support. One person has been helped to settle in the area and another we are supporting as witnesses in a forthcoming tribunal. We encourage new comers to find a place with us where they can feel valued and are pleased to accept their help where this is possible. We have friends locally who are very supportive and help us with essential repairs and support projects financially. As our congregation has aged and diminished this is increasingly necessary. We are concerned with the needs of our community and to that end the use of the church hall is crucial. It is occupied every evening, weekend and some times in the day by many and various groups – See relevant section of the profile. It is of particular use to our Rainbows, Brownies, Guide and Senior Section packs which are growing in numbers and giving us contact with more parents. We are in the process of negotiation with a housing group for major changes to the site. Our church building is no longer fit for purpose so we have moved all our services into the hall. We have partitioned off an area which is secure and big enough for our needs. Hopefully being part of it will reinforce and strengthen our links to other hall users. It is hoped that we shall have a new building incorporating a Church/ Community centre which will meet all our needs. This will give us the fresh start we need to move forward. 2 The monthly magazine was a successful means of communication in the parish until December last year being distributed to 100 people in the area and to former members who had moved away, unfortunately we have no one at present who is able to produce it. We do hope to maintain contact through short bulletins listing events etc. as and when we can. Inclusive Church: The PCC have adopted the Inclusive Church statement, together with all other parishes in the Team and deanery. Ensuring inclusion is integral to our mission and ministry. The statement reads: "We believe in inclusive Church - church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ." Our Parish: A parish, which in 2011 doubled in size to 15,100 when united with the parish of St Francis of Assisi, in one of the largest Team benefices in the Church of England. An estate with a balanced mix of housing association and private housing Within ten/fifteen minutes’ walk of Wythenshawe Hospital – part of the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, a major provider of health services to the North West. On the Metrolink line connecting the centre of Manchester to Manchester Airport and with three tram stops within the parish - one right outside the church grounds. A broadly based worship style including BCP, Common Worship and services of the Word with our Methodist partners. An ethnically mixed congregation, diverse in nature, mostly older but also with young families. Well placed in the locality with strong generational and family connections between the church and the local area and the congregation has a caring and welcoming attitude to visitors and newcomers. 3 We are looking for: A person with concern for people and a heart for reaching out and drawing them into the church. A team worker committed to sharing leadership with every member of the ministry, clergy and lay, and someone who would be involved in the training of others in the work that needs to be done. A leader who can help us think strategically and use godly wisdom in how to be effective in services, evangelism, and discipleship. Someone not afraid of a challenge who we could support and relate to as we move forward jointly to strengthen the church. It would be good to restore our lapsed contact with local schools so an interest in young people would be valuable. A sense of humour would be useful and possibly lifesaving. We are living in exciting times at St. Martin’s. Everything is in a state of change and there will be many opportunities to do things differently. It would be good to have someone with an open mind about what works and the vision to experiment. LOCAL COMMUNITY Population The population of the parish is approximately 15,300. 65% of the population are aged 16-64, 14% are 5-15 years old, 12% are over 65. In the 2011 census, 85% identified as White, with 15% identifying as BAME. Social aspects A good mixture of rented and privately owned accommodation The open aspect of the estate with green spaces, small local parks and play areas and mature trees creates a pleasant living environment Unemployment is around 5%. Manchester Airport and Wythenshawe Hospital are major employers for the area. Two ‘Young People’s Nuisance Hotspots’ in Baguley identified in 2008 indicate a lack of provision for youth. Closure of the City’s Youth Services in 2011 removed these facilities from all church premises in Wythenshawe, despite the 2009 West Wythenshawe Regeneration Plan’s intention to focus on these issues. The Community Police play a significant role in maintaining security in the area. The Index of Deprivation figures (2010) show Newall Green and Baguley in the top 1-5 % most deprived for a number of measures, particularly Health Deprivation and Disability. 4 Housing Wythenshawe Community Housing Group manages 80% of former local authority housing in Baguley and Newall Green resulting in a significant upgrading of the accommodation over a period of time. There are 3000 social rented households and 2850 owner occupied households. housing stock comprises o original 1930s estate of Royal Oak o 1950/1990s developments of the Bideford estate and Newall Green. o The Baguley Hall area is a 1950s mainly private development o All areas have experienced 1990s/2000s infilling with social and private housing. o There is a good sprinkling of social and sheltered accommodation o From 2013 a new combined management team, the Wythenshawe Community Trust, was formed from the Parkway Green and Willow Park Housing Trusts Transport The parish is well served by regular bus routes, between Wythenshawe and the centre of Manchester as well as local links to Wythenshawe Civic Centre and nearby towns. The Metrolink line runs from the centre of Manchester to the airport past the church. The Martinscroft tram stop adjacent to the church grounds has improved local transport links especially across the Team parishes. Schools Baguley Hall Primary School Newall Green Primary school Newall Green High School Catholic schools - Sacred Heart and St Paul’s Primary Schools and St Paul’s Secondary School Piper Hill - a Special Support secondary school in Newall Green adjacent to St Paul’s Stable community links between the non-catholic schools and the church have developed significantly during the last ten years. Previous Vicars at St Martin’s have been governors at Baguley Hall School and have been available to take assemblies. Key Stage I and II classes regularly visited St Martin’s church to experience a ‘Sacred Space’ and were shown round by church members. All three schools have used the church for concerts, leaving ceremonies and seasonal services. 5 The Team has developed a really close working relationship with the primary schools in Wythenshawe, pioneering Experience Easter/Experience Pentecost/ Experience Harvest visits from a number of the schools to William Temple Church and St Martin’s over several years. This has involved a team of helpers from the Team and other churches in Wythenshawe, including several from St Martin’s. Associations and Groups Residents’ Associations meet in both Newall Green and Baguley. A variety of secular activities throughout the week are hosted by St Martin’s Church Hall and also The Royal Oak Community Centre. ‘Mums’ and Toddlers’ Groups meet at Newall Green Baptist Church and also St Martin’s Church Hall. Currently two Sure Start Centres are based at Baguley Hall School & Newall Green Primary School. St Martin’s Church Hall The Hall, with a stage, kitchen, store rooms and excellent dance floor is in use every weekday evening and Saturdays.

  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.
