Talk:North Road, Manchester

Dean and Canons / Deans and Canons
I'd place a bet that the National Archives and Manchester Cathedral itself are correct in referring to "Dean" singular and that the author of a book on football ground history is more accurate on his football than on ecclesiastical matters. There is only ever one dean of a cathedral at a time - the dean is the head officer of the cathedral (the bishop is the head officer of the diocese). For the owner to have been the "Deans and Canons" of Manchester Cathedral there would have to have been more than one dean. The source is just wrong on this point, surely.

 * I'm not seeing any evidence that the group as a whole isn't referred to as "Manchester Deans and Canons". In fact, I have more than one source that refers to "the Deans and Canons of Manchester", perhaps indicating that there was more than one Dean during the time that Newton Heath played at the ground. I'll get in touch with the authors of the sources and get back to you. – PeeJay 21:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * As one of the links says, "By the Dean and Chapter Act of 1840, the Warden and Fellows became Dean and Canons of Manchester", for example. There may have been more than one dean during the club's tenancy (and in fact Dean of Manchester suggests that there was), but the lease would have been with "the dean and canons" (or the dean and chapter) NOT the "deans and canons" because there was never more than one dean at the same time! As the first hit on Google for "Manchester Deans and Canons" is, err, this article (and all the other hits without Wikipedia are uncredited mirrors of this article), I think you're the one who needs to show that the cathedral website and the National Archives website are wrong.
