Kirk Maughold

Founded approximately 450 A.D. by St Maughold, who was expelled from Ireland by St Patrick and later became Bishop of Sodor and Man. The parish church started life as a monastic keeill and contains traces of later 12th century construction, possibly commissioned by the Viking King Olaf 1 (1114-1154). There are three extant keeills in the large monastic enclosure (now the graveyard), together with a large collection of Celtic and Viking crosses. Come and join our active and friendly congregation for a spiritual experience in this ancient and tranquil setting which combines the best of Celtic and Viking tradition within Affirming Catholic practice: you will be made very welcome. Trails are available for both the church and the graveyard.

The Parish Churches of Christ Church, the Dhoon, and St Paul's, South Ramsey are also in the benefice.
