Maughold Church and a little bit of information about the Porch

Posted on June 11, 2014June 11, 2014 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!

Cashtal yn Ard (The Castle of the Heights)

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Peter Killey

We had a lovely walk up to this beautiful part of the Island yesterday. Cashtal yn Ard is one of the best ancient monuments on the Isle of Man. It is one of three Neolithic tombs, dating from about 2000 BC. It is well preserved and one of the largest of its kind in the British Isles. The monument was originally a megalithic chambered Cairn holding five chambers and extending over 130 feet long. Sites of this type were used as communal burial places for Neolithic chieftains and their families.

The Wizard of Ballaglass Glen

There are plenty more Manx Fairy Tales to be told by this Wizard. This fantastic Chain Saw carving was skilfully mastered by local Tree Surgeon Nick Barlow.

The Quakers Burial Ground In Maughold

Posted on January 24, 2014February 5, 2014 by Peter Killey

Above Ballafayle in Maughold lies this Quakers burial ground. The burial ground is alongside the narrow road through Ballajora, the plaque on the entrance to the site states that William Callow gave the piece of ground as a burial place for Quakers, and he was buried here in 1676. The inscription on his headstone reads; William Callow of Ballafayle 1629 – 1676 suffered long persecution frequent imprisonment and finally banishment from his native Island for his faith.

Above Ballafayle and looking towards Maughold Head

These two bronze sculptured Ravens are erected on the rocks high above Ballafayle in memory of  the late Sir Charles Kerruish (1917 – 2003).  Sir Charles was a well known politician and former Speaker of the House of Keys. What a beautiful and peaceful place this is.

Maughold Head Lighthouse

Just look how cold that sea looks and believe me it was freezing up there this afternoon. Maughold Lighthouse was built in 1914 on the Southern side of Maughold Head, the fully automated light is 65m above sea level and access to the Lighthouse is via 129 steps (non Public access).

Posted on December 17, 2013February 5, 2014 by Peter Killey

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.

A walk around Ballaglass Glen in Maughold

Posted on June 4, 2013July 12, 2013 by Peter Killey

Had a lovely walk around Ballaglass Glen today, the Bluebells are like a carpet and are just about to fade for this season. Also right next to the river is this old derelict Flax Mill and you can just about make out the Mills cog wheel The name Ballaglass could be translated to ‘Farm of the Stream’. The images were captured on my Nikon D80 DSLR Camera with a Nikon 18-105 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens, cropped and resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
