The Real Fairy Bridge

Posted on June 30, 2020July 9, 2020 by Peter Killey

Here is an image and a very short video of  the magical, mystical, beautiful and truly original Fairy Bridge at Kewaigue, Braddan. 🇮🇲 Standing here made me feel like I was not alone, so eerie but so very peaceful… My late father used to visit this magical place when he was a kid and told me many times about it and how he loved to walk out there.

Kirk Braddan Old Church and 3 Gravestones

Posted on September 1, 2019 by Peter Killey

Kirk Braddan Old Church and 3 interesting Gravestones 🇮🇲 Set in a beautiful wooded valley by the River Dhoo. The churchyard is full of Georgian headstones and is a wonderful place for photographers and anyone with an interest in Manx history and architecture to visit. There are many interesting gravestones but here are 3 of my favourites and a snippet of info about each. The grave of Captain Edward Quayle Captain Quayle was born in 1802, and became one of the first Masters of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company when he assumed command of the Mona on October 5th 1833, having previously been in command of several of the clipper packets which plied between Douglas and Liverpool. Captain Quayle passed away at his home on Prospect Hill on Saturday June 14th, 1862. The grave has a beautiful intricate carving of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s paddle steamer ‘Douglas’ just look at that 3 intricate Legs of Man above the paddles. The Cholera Stones Some 83 victims were buried in Old Kirk Braddan yard between July and September 1832, these small stone adjacent to the Church are apparently individual graves. Samual Ally “The Slave’s Grave” One of the best known graves in old Kirk Braddan Church is that of Samuel Ally who was an African slave that was brought to the Isle of Man from the West Indies by the owner of Kirby Mansion house (directly next door to this graveyard) following the abolition of slavery in 1834.

St Lukes Church in West Baldwin

Posted on July 16, 2015 by Peter Killey

This quaint church was formerly attached to the parish church of Kirk Braddan but 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.

Archibald Knox – Grave

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Peter Killey

This very famous Manx Grave in the New Kirk Braddan Cemetery is that of Manx Illustrator and designer Archibald Knox (1864 to 1933). Archibald Knox was born in nearby Cronkbourne Village and he grew up being inspired by intricately carved patterns in Celtic Stones of Mann. The beautiful wording on his gravestone reads “A humble servant of God in the ministry of the beautiful” His work still lives on to this day in the form of the world famous Archibald Knox Jewellery.
