Lych Gate – Kirk Michael

Posted on May 7, 2019May 7, 2019 by Peter Killey

A lovely feature to the entrance of Kirk Michael Church is this hand carved Lych gate. The foundation stone (bottom centre right) was laid on Easter Monday in 1907 by the Lieutenant Governor Lord Raglan, and it was formally opened on 16th October. 1907 by the Governors wife Lady Raglan.

St. Michael’s Church – Kirk Michael

Posted on May 9, 2014May 11, 2014 by Peter Killey

I went into the graveyard have a look at the old grave of Bishop Wilson and got a bit carried away with my camera (as you do). This time I somehow managed to avoid the four sheep and one ram in the graveyard 🙂 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.

St. Michael’s Church – Kirk Michael

Posted on March 28, 2014 by Peter Killey

This church was built in 1835 (the former church dated from the 12th century) The building is of plain cruciform design and is built in brown stone with a large square tower. There are five Bishops buried in the graveyard, Bishops Wilson, Hildesley, Mason, Crigan and Duesbury. I actually went into the graveyard to have a look at these graves and I kid you not I was chased out by two sheep, one of which had long horns.

Ballaugh Old Church (St Mary’s De Ballaugh)

Posted on March 3, 2013December 2, 2013 by Peter Killey

This quaint little church is situated at the Cronk in Ballaugh and has gone through many changes, in its present form it is only half the size that it had been in the 18th century, the church is also very well known for it’s leaning entrance gate pillars. The image was captured on my Fuji X10 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 enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.
