[From Slater's Directory, 1857]

Castletown

...

here; but from the frequent sittings of different courts of Law, and the number of pupils educated at the college, the town generally presents an animate appearance. The principal hotel is the 'George' in the Market place, and adjacent to the castle, eligibly situated for commercial men, visitors, &c., combined with comfort and convenience. Considerable quantities of agricultural produce are brought to the market place, which forms a fine area, almost square, ornamented in the centre with a chaste fluted freestone column, nearly fifty feet high, in the Grecian style erected, in 1836, to the memory of the late venerable Lieutenant-Governor C. Smelt. There is a branch of the City of Glasgow Bank, of which Mr. Gell is the agent; also a branch of the Douglas and Isle of Man Bank (Messrs. Dumbell, Son & Howard), of which Mr. M’Meiken is agent.

The places of worship are the parish church, one mile and a quarter north of Castletown (the living in the gift of the crown) Saint Thomas’s Chapel, forming part of King William’s College; and Saint Mary’s Chapel, on one side of the parade; the latter, which was first erected in 1698, and rebuilt in 1826, is a chaplaincy in the gift of the governor; the present incumbent is the Rev. Edward Ferrier, M.A., the government chaplain. In the chapel is a tablet erected by public subscription, to the memory of the late chaplain Rev. G. S. Parsons, who was greatly respected. ‘The Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel, and there is one for the Roman Catholics, in College green. Near the grammar school are two alms-houses, one founded by the late R Robert Quayle, Esq., of New Hill ; and the other by the late Rev. G. S. Parsons, Government Chaplain. Both are for the accommodation of poor women, Mr. Quayle's for four and Mr. Parson’s for eight. There being no legal provision for the poor, begging prevails in the island to a considerable extent, the poor being otherwise dependent on the offertory in the churches, and in the income arising from charitable bequests. In this town an effort has been lately made to abolish begging from house to house, by voluntary measures. In October, 1855, at a public meeting, a committee was appointed to attend to the relief of the poor and to administer the funds contributed by the inhabitants for the purpose. The experiment has hitherto been eminently successful. Amongst the charities of the town are the soup kitchen, from which the poor are supplied with soup during the winter half of the year; the coal fund, from which coals are dispensed gratuitously to the poor, the coals being stored in the commodious cellars under Mr. Parson’s alms-house, which were devised for that purpose; and the Dorcas Society for furnishing clothing to the needy poor gratuitously; these charities are supported by voluntary contributions.

Half a mile north-east of the town,and about three hundred yards from the shore stands King Williams' College, one of the finest public buildings in the Isle, erected in 1830. in the early English style; it is two hundred and ten feet long and one hundred, and thirty-five feet long, including Saint Thomas’ chapel, which stretches from the centre at right angles with the college; from the intersection rises a square embattled tower, ninety-seven fees high, The buildings cost upwards of £l,500.; the accumulated fund, left for educational and other purposes in the hands of trustees, supplied £2,692. 1s. 5d., and the remainder was furnished by voluntary subscriptions, One hundred and thirty pupils, chiefly boarding, are educated in the college, and are prepared for the British and Irish universities, and for the professions; and several students are educated on the foundation for the Manx church. The college contains four spacious classrooms, and a library is attached to the Institution. On the 14th January, 1844, the college, with the exception of the vice-principal’s house, was destroyed by fire, but was restored by the liberal contributions of friends in the Island, and was rendered more commodious than before. There is an excellent grammar school, in College lane; and in the same street is Halsall’s school, for the free education of girls. In Douglas street, is the Taubman’s school, in which twenty-five boys are taught gratuitously, and in Hope-street, is the National Day and Sunday school, for boys and girls, the greater number of the scholars receiving a free education. An infants’ school is about being added. The market-house and assembly rooms were built in 1830, and are situate in the centre of the town, The assembly rooms are now used as a custom house. The weekly market is held on Saturday. Population in 1841, 2,281, in 1851, 2,501.

BALLSALLA is a village of prepossessing and respectable appearance, consisting of about one hundred houses: it is situate in the parish of Malew, nearly two miles north from Castletown, at the point where the Peel and Douglas roads separate. The retiemable remains of Rushen Abbey are to be seen on the rivers bank, it was erected by Ewan, Abbot of Furness, on lands granted for that purpose, in 1134, for King Olave II. (Kleining); who conferred upon it great liberties, immunities, &c., for the education of youth and support of the poor. On part of the same site and adjoining the ruins, is the Rushen Abbey boarding-school, a superior establishment for young ladies, conducted by the Misses Stowell. This is the largest and most English looking village in the island; the roads in the vicinity are generally lined with newly-cut hedgerows and the country round being well sheltered with wood, and varied with gently-swelling eminences, the prospects, thought not very extensive, are pleasing. Not far from Ballasalla are extensive lime-works, and an ochre, umber and Roman cement manufactory. The Primitive and the Wesleyan Methodists have each a chapel, and the Malew parish school is here. An infant school has lately been established in connexion with the parish school. Fairs are held on the 12th August and 29th September. Population included with the parish.

MALEW parish lies in the sheading of Rushen, in the southern division of the island, and is comparatively very extensive, being eight miles in length from north to south, and at least four in breadth from east to west. Besides the parish church, there is a chapel of ease, dedicated to Saint Mark, situate about five miles from Castletown ; the living is a chaplaincy, in the gift if the vicar of the parish. The parish also contains one Primitive and two Wesleyan Methodist chapels exclusive of those in Castletown and Ballasalla. At the village of DERBYHAVEN, a building has lately been purchased by donations procured by the Rev, G. Harvey, Chaplain and Bursar of King William’s College, to be converted into a school house, and to be used on Sunday’s for divine service. There is a commodious harbour here and excellent anchorage. Near the village is Saint Michael’s Island, on which is the remains of an old church, and a fort now used as a light house, the fort was termed ‘Derby Fort,’ by the famous Charlotte de la Tremouille, Countess of Derby (wife of James the 7th Earl, who was beheaded at Bolton 1651), in memory of the successful defence of Latham House. A great portion of the parish is fertile, and the northern part, which is mountainous and not susceptible of tillage, has several slate quarries, and likewise produces lead ore, Two annual fairs are held at Saint Mark’s—one on the 5th of January, the other on the 12th of May. Population of the parish, in 1841, 3,085,and in 1851, 3,232.
