Molly Carrooins Cottage – The Butt in Onchan

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Peter Killey

Molly Carrooins Cottage – The Butt in Onchan Close to the Wetlands and St Peters church in Onchan is Molly Carrooins cottage which was in fact not built as a cottage but as a weaving shed which was converted to a cottage around 1800 when a chimney stack was added to the outside of the gable wall, it then later became the home of the village washerwoman. This tiny-whitewashed cottage, which is probably one of the oldest buildings in the village, has now been fully restored to give a taste of true village tradition, and is sometimes open to the public.

Original Kirk Conchan Church

Posted on October 13, 2015 by Peter Killey

This is the original church where St Peter’s Church in Onchan now stands. In fact this little church was better known as Kirk Conchan and the origins of the old church which stood some 50 yards to the north of the present St. Peter’s church date back to the 12th Century. This picture is depicted in a stained glass window in the present St. Peter’s Church in Onchan.

St Peter’s Church – Kirk Onchan

Posted on November 17, 2012 by Peter Killey

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 big thank you to Architectural Historian and Captain of Onchan Parish, Mr Peter Kelly for all his continued advice and support with Manxscenes.com.

St Peters Church – Church Road Onchan

The large stone in the wall in the bottom left of the image is known as the “Whipping Post” legend has it that it may have been used to tie the local vicars horse up too, however, its origin is more likely to be that it formed part of a semi-circle of similar stones associated with a pre-historic burial site. The images was captured on my Nikon D80 SLR with a Nikon 18-135 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens at 20mm and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Click on the image for a larger view!
