BRADDAN.

Braddan, in Middle Sheading, is the largest and most populous parish in the island, comprising within its limits part of the town of Douglas. It is about eleven miles long from north to south, and varying from one to five miles in breadth from cast to west, and is bounded on the east by Onchan, Lonan, and the sea, on the south by Santon and the sea, on the west by Michael, German, Marown, and Santon, and on the north by Ballaugh and Lezayre. The surface is pretty equally divided into hill and dale; the former is clothed with verdure and the latter is very fertile and agreeably interspersed with wood. The mountains of Bein-y-Phot, 1772, and Garraghan, 1520 feet high, are both situated in this parish. The parish is named after St. Brandan, bishop of the island in the eleventh century, and the church (as well as several in Britain) is dedicated to him. It is a neat structure situated two miles N. W. from Douglas, a little to the west of the Peel road, occupies a slight elevation, and is beautifully surrounded with trees. In the churchyard are several ancient monumental crosses bearing inscriptions which have puzzled several learned antiquarians; and also the tombs of some of the most popular Manxmen who have died in more recent years. The living is a vicarage in the gift of the Bishop, and held by the Rev. Wm. Drury. The chapel of case at Baldwin is a neat structure erected in 1836. There is also a chapel at Oak Hill erected about twenty years ago for the accommodation of the inhabitants of that neighbourhood. The Wesleyans have chapels at East Baldwin, Cooil, and Union Mills. The Primitive Methodists have chapels at the Strang and Quine's Hill; and the Independents a neat little memorial chapel (to the late J. Dalrymple, Esq.) at Union Mills.
