Lag Ny Keeilley

Posted on April 11, 2015April 11, 2015 by Peter Killey

The most isolated of all Manx keeills which stands on a small platform on the steep western sloapes near to the foot of Cronk Ny Arrey Laa. The original boundaries of the burial ground are almost perfect and just outside the foundation of the priest’s cell. Several cross slabs and many lintel graves have also been discovered here. The name Lag Ny Keeilley means “The hollow of the chapel” 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. Runius Church – Marown

Posted on February 17, 2014February 17, 2014 by Peter Killey

Marown Parish is dedicated to St Runius or Ronan (Ma-Ronan) and is the only landlocked parish on the Island. It is thought that originally Marown and Santan were a single parish but the division had occurred by the 14th Century. Once this was 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 (see below image of slate cross above West doorway and inscribed with 1754) by extending the church westwards by about 5m. The original part of the church can still be seen in the eastern half. The original door was in the south wall (behind the now Altar) although blocked off it can still be traced in the outside stonework. A new door has much earlier moulded door jamb-stones which, according to records in 1778, were retrieved from St. Trinians. At about the same time the stone steps up to the Western gallery were added to house musicians etc.  The door below the gallery entrance has huge flanking stones from a much earlier site. When the new church on the Main Douglas to Peel road was built in 1860 the old church of St. Runius was used as a mortuary chapel. The building was restored by volunteer labour and reopened on August 9th 1959. Services are now held during the summer and for all major festivals. As can be seen by the images there is no mains electricity and this quaint church relies on candle light. Three bishops are possibly buried here; Lonnan, Connaghan, and Runius.

Inside Looking Out – Towards The Famous Leaning Entrance Pillars

Posted on January 9, 2014February 5, 2014 by Peter Killey

Standing inside Old Ballaugh Church at the Cronk and looking out towards the famous leaning entrance pillars. This little Church always intrigues me with its leaning entrance pillars, I have heard so many myths about the reasons why the pillars are leaning that I just don’t really know what to believe now!
