The earliest flight is BA1371 but this lands at LHR at 7.30am so falls outside the MCT.

BA have changed my MAN-LHR sector to the BA1403 on the 12th Dec so I will now have an overnight stay at LHR. This is all ticketed on one PNR so I presume BA will pick up the tab for the hotel that is now required?

If the flight was canceled and your rescheduled itinerary involves an overnight then yes as BA has the duty of care, which is not limited by the 14 days notice of cancellation.
If it is a simple reschedule, ie the same flight number I am not so sure.
