MICHAEL.

MICHAEL, in the sheading of its name, is a considerable parish of about 5½ miles long from north to south, and four miles broad from east to west ; situated on the main road from Peel to Ramsey, and on the long road from Douglas to Ramsey, and has a station on the Manx Northern Railway. It is bounded on the east by Lezayre, on the south by German, on the west by the sea, and on the north by Ballaugh. Some portion of the land is mountainous and barren, but those to the north and west are level and fertile and well cultivated. The parish church, dedicated to St. Michael and all angels, built in 1834, is one of the most beautiful structures of its kind on the island. The living is a vicarage in the gift of the Crown, and held by the Rev. Wm. Hawley. The most interesting place in the parish is the episcopal palace at Bishop's court, about one mile north from the church, the residence of the Right Rev. Rowley Hill, D.D., Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man. The Wesleyans have chapels at the village. Barragarrow, and Kerroglass ; and the Primitive Methodists at the village and Orrisdale.
