The Unitarian College, Manchester was established by the Unitarian Home Mission Board in 1854. It is to be distinguished from the dissenting academy "The Manchester Academy" or "Manchester College" based on the well-known Warrington Academy which was based in Manchester 1786-1803, York 1804-1840, Manchester again 1840-1853, London, in University Hall, Gordon Square 1853-1889 (where James Martineau taught), Oxford 1893-1995, and since 1996 is a full college of Oxford University as Harris Manchester College, Oxford. It was the move of the original academy to London as "Manchester New College, London" which occasioned the need for a separate establishment in Manchester in 1854.

“I am so much a Unitarian as this: that I believe the human mind can admit but one God, and that every effort to pay religious homage to more than one being goes to take away all right ideas.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The [nineteenth-century] young men who were Puritans in politics were anti-Puritans in literature. They were willing to die for the independence of Poland or the Manchester Fenians; and they relaxed their tension by voluptuous reading in Swinburne.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
