St. Adamnan’s Church – Old Kirk Lonan

Posted on April 1, 2019 by Peter Killey

An interior and exterior image of St. Adamnan’s Church. This quaint little church in is one of the Islands oldest churches where the walls date back to possibly the 12th century on a site used since perhaps the first Christian missionaries on the Isle of Man. The site is steeped in Manx History and if you look at the bottom right external image you can make out the Celtic Wheel Head Cross that is almost completely covered in interlacing, knot work and plait work designs. This stone dates from the 9th or even the 10th century. (Manx National Heritage catalogued Cross No. 73) Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Leave a comment” above or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.

Vampires Grave, Malew - © Peter Killey - www.manxscenes.com

This famous Grave is in Malew Churchyard.

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Peter Killey

Very probably the subject of Isle of Man myth (which to be fair I love) It is better know as the Vampires Grave. I remember my late Dad telling me about it many years ago and I quite like taking the odd picture of it now and again. Well worth a look at the grave if you are passing Malew Church.

St Ninian’s Church Douglas

Posted on October 2, 2018October 2, 2018 by Peter Killey

The church was constructed as a result of a bequest in the will of Henry Bloom Noble, his trustees provided land at the junction of St Ninian’s Road and Ballaquayle Road, and money for the construction of this beautiful church which was completd in 1913 and consecrated as a parish church the following year. The church is constructed of local slate and its tower dominates the landscape and indeed the skyline of Douglas.

St Runius Church Marown

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Peter Killey

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.
