(3 images in this post) A beautiful day for flying the Drone, so popped up to Maughold Head and put the Drone up and took lots of pictures but I do like these 3 images, which not only shows Maughold Head and Maughold Church but also Ramsey Bay right up to the Point of Ayre, also you can make out North Barrule and onward to Snaefell Mountain on one of the images.

Sunshine and Showers at Maughold

Maughold Church and a little bit of information about the Porch

Posted on by Peter Killey

We had a walk around this lovely Church and the Graveyard the other day. The image of the Porch shows ‘The Orouboros’ or the snake swallowing its tail inscribed into the upper right sandstone block which is built into this porch, snakes have many symbolic meanings, good and bad, but this one is universal, it represents the concept of infinity – and of the end being also the beginning, we can only guess how this stone came to Maughold Church!

Overlooking Maughold Church towards North Barrule Mountain

The first glimpse of sunshine for about a week on the Isle of Man so went for a walk up to Maughold Church. The mountain is North Barrule and the ridge top left takes you over to Clagh Ouyr.

Another Stained Glass Window in St. Peter’s Church in Onchan

Posted on by Peter Killey

This stained glass window inside St. Peter’s Church in Onchan depicts Maughold Parish Church and the “Maughold Parish Cross” which is a 14th century St. Bees sandstone carving and is one of the earliest representations of the 3 Legs of Mann (apart from the 3 Legs inscribed on the Pommel of the 12th Century Manx Sword of State) it is also interesting to note which direction the 3 Legs are pointing! I have taken a number of images of the stained glass windows in St. Peter’s and I will add them to Manxscenes.com over the coming months. The image was captured on my Nikon S8200 Camera resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page – Click on the image for a larger view.
