Survivors of alleged child abuse within the Catholic Church are taking their former diocese to court after allegations of an institutional cover-up going back decades.

The allegations date back to the 1950s at St Bede’s School in Whalley Range, Manchester.

At the time it had a reputation for being one of the finest Catholic grammar schools in the north west.

The allegations relate to three senior figures.

Monsignor Thomas Duggan, Father Charles Mulholland and Father Vincent Hamilton.
