MAUGHOLD.

MAUGHOLD, in the sheading of Garff, is a mountainous parish, including within its limits most of the town of Ramsey. It is bounded on the east by the sea, on the south by Lonan, and on the west and north by Lezayre. The parish is about 4½ miles long from north to south, and about three miles broad from east to west. A considerable portion of the land being occupied by mountains is barren and incapable of cultivation but the low lands are very fertile, productive, and in a high state of cultivation. The church, about three miles S.E. from Ramsey, is dedicated to St. Maughold, of whom a remarkable Manx legend is related, He is said to have been a captain of banditti in Ireland ; but was converted by St. Patrick, and was, either as a punishment, or as a voluntary act of penance for his crimes, placed in a leathern boat, with his hands and feet tied, and sent to sea. He was driven ashore in the parish, and became so remarkable for his piety that on the death of St. Romulus, in 498, he was unanimously chosen bishop. The living is a vicarage in the patronage of the Crown, and held by the Rev. H. G. White. The chapel of ease at the Dhoon is in the charge of the Rev. S. W. Harrison, The Wesleyans have chapels at Port e-vullen and Cardle-vore, and the Primitive Methodists one at Ballagarey.
