St Lukes Church in West Baldwin was formerly attached to the parish church of Kirk Braddan and now Marown, the church was built in 1836 on the site of a Celtic church called “Keeill Abban”, an ancient Celtic cross has also been built into the west gable section of the building which was also used as a school up to 1871.
Behind this chapel and up the hill is the ancient site of *Tynwald which was held there as far back as 1429 and is now marked by a circle of stones.

Nice to see you back at one of your favourite spots on the island.
Hi Eleanor
Yes that place is like a magnet to me it is so tranquil, its a place you can go and find solitude, no traffic, no noise pollution just the beautiful sound of the countryside and of nature 🙂
They have locked the church now so i couldn’t go in to take some shots!
Cheers Eleanor…
Oh what a shame the church is now locked…. Is it a sign of the times?
Hi Eleanor, I think so 🙁
I would have loved to go in there, as I have done in previous years and take some piccies for us all to see 🙁
