  • Sketches from Manx History (1915)
    STEPHEN MILLER CHRISTOPHER SHIMMIN SKETCHES FROM MANX HISTORY (1915) CHIOLLAGH BOOKS FOR CULTURE VANNIN 2020 SKETCHES FROM MANX HISTORY * (1) [5b] The story of the Isle of Man may be divided into three distinct periods—the Celtic, from the unknown past to the 10th century; the Norse, to the middle of the 13th century; and the Manx, to the present time. The story of our Island changes its form as we journey backwards in time. First we have written history, as recorded in State papers and official documents. Overlapping these, and often in conflict with them, we have tradition—a statement of events handed down orally from one generation to the next. Beyond this is Legend—accounts of occurrences passed down through the ages, and usually overlaid with wonder and imagination until it becomes difficult to decide which is truth and which is fancy. Farthest away, in the dim, nebulous beginning of human story telling, we find the most ancient of all records, that of myth. The wonder stories of Egypt, Greece, and Germany, are familiar to many readers, yet how few of us trouble to read the legends of our own race and land. The Celtic mythology is as wonderful, as beautiful, and has more of tenderness than the others. We have marvellous stories of the doings of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, druids and magicians, kings and queens, giants and dwarfs, battles of nations, wars with fiends and fairies, adventurous voyages in magic lands and seas, and even under earth and sea. We have beautiful legends of saints and the miracles performed by them; weird stories of witches, stirring battle stories.

My Lord, The earliest Monumental Remains noticed in the present work were pro- bably erected when your Lordship's ancestors were Kings of Man. The names of the Bishops contemporary with Merfyn Frych and Roderic Mawr have not been handed down to posterity, but the oldest Manx Chronicle assures us that this has never been to the there was a true succession j and interrupted present office in the most ancient ex- day, when your Lordship is adorning the Episcopal isting See of the British Isles. in the which I therefore deem myself peculiarly privileged permission your of the Lordship has afforded me to dedicate to you these few pages descriptive remarkable Memorials, erected in your Diocese through a long series of years, to those who have died in the faith of Christ. With the deepest respect, I beg leave to subscribe myself. Your Lordship's Very faithful and obedient servant, J. G. GUMMING. Lichfield, June 1st, 1857. 891 PREFATORY NOTE. T THINK it right to state that the following work is primarily an endeavour to exhibit in its rude character the ornamentation on the Scandinavian Crosses in the Isle of Man.

  • The Barrovian
    THE BARROVIAN KING WILLIAM'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE Published three times yearly NUMBER 232 . JULY I 9 $ J A Career for young men that carries responsibility Britain's need for coal increases every year. Oil and nuclear energy can only bridge the gap between the coal we have and the power we need. The bulk of this energy must, for many generations, come from coal. To meet the increasing demands for coal, vast schemes of recon- struction and expansion are being undertaken by the coal-mining industry, for which there must be an adequate supply of suitably qualified and well-trained men. University Scholarships.—The National Coal Board offer a hundred University Scholarships a year ; most are in Mining Engineering, and some are available in -Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering and in Fuel Technology. They are worth about the same as State Scholarships but there is no parental means test. School Leavers.—There are also good opportunities for advance- ment for boys with initiative who come straight into the industry from school. You can attend part-time courses (for example. National Certificate courses) at technical colleges for which you are given day release from work with pay. Management Training.—When you are qualified—either through the University or through technical college while working—you are eligible for a two or three-year course under the Board's Management Training Scheme. Each trainee has a course mapped out for him personally, with a senior engineer to give him individual supervision. Scientific Careers.—If you are interested in a Scientific Career, there is absorbing and rewarding work at the Board's Research establishments, in the coalfields on operational work.

  • The Lost Coin of ^Thelred Ii from Rushen Abbey, Isle Of
    SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES THE LOST COIN OF ^THELRED II FROM RUSHEN ABBEY, ISLE OF MAN JAMES GRAHAM-CAMPBELL STUDENTS of the Viking Age in the Isle of Man owe a particular debt to Kristin Bornholdt Collins for the great quantity of archival and antiquarian information that she assembled during the research for her two-volume PhD thesis, entitled Viking-Age Coin Finds from the Isle of Man: a Study of Coin Circulation, Production and Concepts of Wealth (University of Cambridge, 2003). Its accompanying 'Corpus of Viking-Age Coin Hoards from the Isle of Man', in Vol. 2, contains a list of the eight 'Single Coin Finds: Viking Age', which were known to her at the time.1 Five of these are relatively recent finds, all of which were excavated on St Patrick's Isle, Peel, between 1984 and 1986,2 but the other three were discovered during the nineteenth century. One is the well-known ninth-century Frisian imitation of a gold solidus of Louis the Pious, found in Maughold parish churchyard in 1884, and now in the Manx Museum,3 but the other two are lost coins, both identified on discovery as being of /Ethelred II (978-1016). One (said to have been of gold) was found, c.l830, in levelling a mound at the farm of Gordon, Patrick,4 and the other (first mentioned in 1869) was found 'in the garden of Rushen Abbey' ,5 There exists, however, one further nineteenth-century reference to another lost coin of /Ethelred II having been found on Man, 'in the north of the Island': this is noted by Dr Oswald, in 1860 (together with that from Gordon), as also being of
