In Response To: harold towers FARM ()

the land was part of the Nunnery Howe (abbey rent) owned around 1820 by John Taubman of the Nunnery who sold off parcels for building houses etc - on his death the Nunnery + its large estate passed to his 2nd dau who had married Col (+ later Lt Gen) Alexander John Goldie - (their son John adopted named Goldie-Taubman) - Lt Gen Goldie sold [deed SouthSideSale May 1834 #55] to a Miss St John a plot which I think became Harold Tower - you can buy a copy of that deed from Manx Museum (quite expensive) - I havn't reached it in my summaries
