Another Stained Glass Window in St. Peter’s Church in Onchan
This stained glass window inside St. Peter’s Church in Onchan depicts Maughold Parish Church and the “Maughold Parish Cross” which is a 14th century St. Bees sandstone carving and is one of the earliest representations of the 3 Legs of Mann (apart from the 3 Legs inscribed on the Pommel of the 12th Century Manx Sword of State) it is also interesting to note which direction the 3 Legs are pointing! I have taken a number of images of the stained glass windows in St. Peter’s and I will add them to Manxscenes.com over the coming months.

St Peter’s Church – Kirk Onchan
This beautiful Church in Onchan was built in 1833 and is dedicated to St. Peter A little bit of trivia; The rain drip stones (I am sure that terminology is wrong) above the louvered openings in the Bell Tower are constructed with headstones and if you look up at them you can see names and inscriptions on them!

A Lovely Sunday Walk
Well what a sunny fantastic Sunday here on the Isle of Man so we took Ted up to Maughold and walked from the front door of Maughold Church to the beach at the foot of ‘Gob ny Port Mooar’! Firstly we were confronted by about 50 sheep being rounded up and being moved from one field to another, Ted was not happy and very quiet seeing all these white 4 legged things running up the footpath that he was walking on! The walk was wonderful and sometimes a little scary on the headland down to the beach due to the steepness and slippery conditions. Ted and Nick loved it and we spent a pleasurable hour or so on the beach and the headlands. What a fantastic way to spend our Sunday afternoon and we were back home around two or so hours later.
