MICHAEL.

The parish of MICHAEL stretches from Glen Cam, in the south, to Orrisdale, in the north, a distance of four miles ; and from the sea, in the west, to Druidale, in the east, a distance of about five miles ; and contains an area of about 18 square miles. This district is hilly, and includes the northern portion of the western mountain chain. The highest points are Slieau Farnane, 1,600 feet ; Sartfell, 1,560 feet ; Slieau Curn, 1,153 feet ; and Slieau Dhu, 1,139 feet. The most celebrated height in this district is Cronk Urleigh (" The bill of the eagle "), one mile south of the village of Kirk Michael, " where the Tynwald Courts were held until 1428." The principal glens are—Glen Mooar, Glen Wyllan, and Glen Trunk, which cross the district in a SE. direction and penetrate the hills to the spurs of Sartfell, Slieau Farnane, and Slieau Curn, respectively. The district is well watered. Numerous streams descend from the mountains and find their way to the sea by the various glens. The coast line north of Glen Mooar is composed of successive layers of clay, gravel, and sand, and, from its exposed position and the action of the tides upon its loose materials, it is rapidly wasting away. Nearly every winter masses of the cliffs are washed down, and their debris swept away by the currents, and spread out along the bed of the neigh-bouring sea, forming those numerous shallows and sandbanks which, especially off the Ramsey coast, render navigation so dangerous. The mountainous parts of the parish are chiefly in pasture, or unenclosed; but the western low-lands, to the sea, are more fertile, and are .well cultivated. The population, like that of most of the purely agricultural districts, is decreasing. In 1851, it was 1,416 ; and in 1871, it was 1,231. The village of Kirk Michael is the largest agricultural village in the north. In the parish churchyard are fine runic crosses, and the graves of Bishops Wilson, Hildesley, and Cregeen. One-and-a-half miles north of the village is Bishop’s Court, the residence of the bishop of the Island. This living is a vicarage, the present incumbent being the Rev. E. Savage.
