Thomas Brine's Legacy: a Jail, Courthouses and Churches 14 ISLE OF MAN EXAMINER www.iomtoday.co.im Tuesday, February 5, 2019 BUILDINGS AT RISK Thomas Brine’s legacy: a jail, courthouses and churches In this week’s Building at Risk, Frank Cowin looks at the second of the three Bishop Ward- era church architects, Thomas Brine, who is better known for his work for the Duke of Atholl and some of the island’s larger houses. homas Brine came to the is- land in about 1810 as clerk of works to the Barracks Office and produced plans for, Tand supervised, the work of turning Castle Rushen into the island’s prison. This work included putting in ‘the prison staircase’ to give good access to all the main ar- eas of the castle and also the installation of the slate slab floors and ceiling which are such a feature of the building. Also included were re- pairs to roofs, floors and the provision of extra toilet facili- ties, and a house for the head gaoler. Only one section of his prison period timber floor survives, in part of the small side room off the ‘prison stair- case’ at first floor level. Being a prison floor meant that no nails could be used, and so boards were pegged to the joists instead. Most of the additional toi- lets have gone and the gaoler’s house demolished. Brine was careful to detail the door heads to match the original but in a slightly differ- ent material – a man ahead of Three of Thomas Brine’s Castletown buildings – on the left the former George/Barracks; centre Brine’s office; right the Market Hall and Assembly Room his time.
