MAROWN PARISH, AND THE VILLAGE OF CROSBY.

MAOWN parish lies in the southern division of the island, in the sheading of Glanfaba; it is the only parish in the Isle of Man not washed by the sea, and is upwards of five miles in length by an average breadth of two and a half. The small parish church is five miles west of Douglas, and six and a half east of Peel, standing on a hill about half a mile south of the road between these towns ; the living is a vicarage, in the gift of the crown. The eastern, central and western parts of this district are in excellent condition, being well cultivated ; but the northern and southern portions are hilly, and comparatively unproductive. There are two vestiges of antiquity to be observed in this parish-the ruins of St. Trinian's chapel, a little beyond Crosby; and a druidical temple, on the north side of Mount Murray. A fair is annually held at Greba, in this district, on the 2nd of February.

CROSBY is a small but respectable village, on the road between Douglas and Peel; five miles west of the former, and about the same distance east of the latter. The Wesleyan methodists have a neat chapel at the village, close by the border of the high road.
