Kirk Michael Church Graveyard Tour

Posted on by Peter Killey

An absolute fascinating Graveyard Tour of Kirk Michael Church last night conducted by Mike Clague of Michael Heritage Trust (approximately 30 peeps attended). So many Bishops buried here and so many interesting and famous stories attached to many graves. These three headstones caught my eye as they are part of the Kelly Family also knows as Kelly Brothers, Builders of Kirk Michael, with very appropriate headstones that represent roof pitches and roof tiles. Thanks you Mike Clague you are such a wealth of information.

Park Llewellyn & Cornaa Farm Tholtans

Posted on by Peter Killey

3 images of Manx Tholtans, image 1 and 2 are Park Llewellyn. This beautiful once loved Manx Tholtan at Park Llewellyn sits on the foot of the slopes of North Barrule. Quite difficult to imagine how tough life in this isolated home might have been. But believe me the view out the front door overlooking Cornaa Valley with views of the North Laxey Mines nearby might have been some consolation. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful ruins on the entire island 🇮🇲 Image 3 is the nearby Tholtan of Cornaa Farm which I believe was still occupied in the late 70’s, again this beautiful once loved home enjoyed very similar views to the neighbouring Park Llewellyn.

Cashtal yn Ard (The Castle of the Heights)

Posted on by Peter Killey

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.
