Old Tynwald Site – Baldwin

Posted on by Peter Killey

One of several sites where sittings of Tynwald (the Manx Parliament) have taken place. The date on the plaque gives the date as 1428. The site was chosen because it approximates the geographic centre of the Isle of Man and is known as Killabane. This site is just above St Luke’s Church in West Baldwin and you can just make out that quaint church.
