Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation

Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation is an Orthodox synagogue in Higher Crumpsall built from red brick with a central structure and projecting wings. A large glass entrance wall on Middleton Road forms the main facade and marks the building from the street.

The congregation was founded in 1935 and moved into its current building in 1967, which took design inspiration from Manchester's Holy Law Synagogue built in 1934. This building marks an important expansion of the Jewish community in North Manchester.

The congregation follows Ashkenazi Orthodox practices and serves as a gathering place for prayer and community events throughout the year. Members come here for Sabbath services and religious celebrations that shape life in North Manchester.

The synagogue is located at Ashdown on Middleton Road in Higher Crumpsall and is easily reached on foot from nearby bus stops. Visitors interested in attending services should contact the congregation to learn about visiting times and any requirements.

Marriage registers from 1937 to 1999 are kept at Manchester Register Office and record decades of family histories within the local Jewish community. These documents reveal the growth and connections of families who became part of the congregation over time.
