A touch of Christmas at the tiny and beautiful St Adamnan’s Church in Lonan this morning, I reckon this must be one of the smallest churches on the Isle of Man?! 🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

I have also added a small video clip at the bottom of this post of St Adamnan’s including the external font and the Celtic Wheel Headed Cross which still stands in it’s original position at the south side of the church. It stands at 1.5m high.

A trip to Malew wouldn’t be the same without taking a look at this famous grave.

I have a few images on this website of this fascinating grave but this time I have added a video for anyone intending to try and find it.

St Runius Church Marown

This was once the Parish church and was situated in about the centre of the Parish. The original building was from approximately 1200 AD and was enlarged in 1754 AD.

Three bishops are possibly buried in the graveyard here; Lonnan, Connaghan, and Runius.

This quaint little Church has no mains electricity and relies on candlelight.

I just love a good old walk around a graveyard especially if it is slightly spooky 🇮🇲 (Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Camera).
