MAUGHOLD.

The parish of Kirk Maughold extends from Ramsey to Clagh Ouyre, and from the crest of the eastern mountain ridge to the sea. It contains about 12 square miles. It is a high mountainous district, and the greater part of it is unenclosed mountain land incapable of cultivation. Its highest points are North Barrule 1,842 feet, Clagh Ouyre 1,808 feet, Slieau Lhean 1,507 feet, Slieau Ouyre 1,483 feet, and Slieau Ruy 1,300 feet. Its chief depressions are Ballure Glen, a small wooded ravine on the north slope of Barrule ; Cornah Glen, a desolate mountain valley between Park Liewellyn and Barrule and the high ridge of Slieau Lhean and Slieau Ouyre ; and Dhoon Glen, a short but picturesque and richly wooded opening among the roots of Slieau Ruy. The country sinks down rapidly from the mountains to the coast, which is high and rocky, and broken by numerous inlets. Among these are Port-e-Vullen, a small creek at the northern side of Maughold Head—the point from which the Insular telegraphic cable crosses to St. Bee’s Head ; Port Mooar, south of Maughold Head ; Port Cornah and Dhoon Bay, romantic creeks in a high precipitous coast. A number of short streams flow down from the mountains into the sea through deep clefts in the coast ; but the only streams of any size in the Cornah river, which, rising on Ciagh Ouyre, flows down the Cornah Glen, and, after forming the fine falls of Ballaglass, reaches the sea at Cornah, or Kennay Creek. The Dhoon stream, fadling into the sea at Dhoon Bay, also forms a beautiful waterfall ; which, together with the wooded glen, is much frequented by tourists. Maughold Head, 373 feet, derives its name from St. Maughold, or Machutus, who landed at its foot towards the close of the 5th century, and established himself in a cave in the mountain side. After his death his shrine upon this headland was held in great veneration down to the time of the Reformation, and was much frequented by pilgrims. The village of Maughold thus became a place of considerable importance, but it is now quite insignificant. The church, one of the oldest in the Island, is a plain structure of the ordinary Manx type, and contains some ancient relics. It is surrounded by a churchyard nearly four acres in extent, one of the largest in the British Islands. It was anciently a sanctuary where criminals were free from arrest, and, until recently, there were ruins of old buildings in the yard, supposed to have been erected for the accommodation of those who thus took sanctuary. A short distance from the north-east corner of the churchyard is the well of St. Maughold, an ancient holy well formerly much venerated and greatly resorted to by pilgrims. It is now in a neglected condition. The view from the top of the headland is beautiful and extensive. Close to the sea, on the S.E. side of the Head, are the Dhyrnane iron mines, and in other parts of the headland there are several old unused copper and iron mines. Three miles distant is the lightship stationed off the Bahama Bank. The western mountainous districts are incapable of cultivation, but the eastern parts towards the sea are cult ivated or in pasture. The parish contains numerous lead and iron mines, and at the Dhoon attempts have been made to work a hard syenitic granite which is there found. The population is partly agricultural and partly mining. The northern extremity of the parish includes the town of Ramsey, south of the Sulby, the inhabitants of which depend mainly upon the summer visitors. The population of the parish, excluding Ramsey, which in 1871 contained 3,861 inhabitants, in 185! was 1,762, and in 1871 it was 1,438. The living is a vicarage, and the present incumbent is the Rev. Henry Grattan White, M.A.
