  • Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. an Examination of Manx Farming Between 1750 and 1900
    115 Manx Farming Communities and Traditions. An examination of Manx farming between 1750 and 1900 CJ Page Introduction Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man was far from being an isolated community. Being over 33 miles long by 13 miles wide, with a central mountainous land mass, meant that most of the cultivated area was not that far from the shore and the influence of the sea. Until recent years the Irish Sea was an extremely busy stretch of water, and the island greatly benefited from the trade passing through it. Manxmen had long been involved with the sea and were found around the world as members of the British merchant fleet and also in the British navy. Such people as Fletcher Christian from HMAV Bounty, (even its captain, Lieutenant Bligh was married in Onchan, near Douglas), and also John Quilliam who was First Lieutenant on Nelson's Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar, are some of the more notable examples. However, it was fishing that employed many Manxmen, and most of these fishermen were also farmers, dividing their time between the two occupations (Kinvig 1975, 144). Fishing generally proved very lucrative, especially when it was combined with the other aspect of the sea - smuggling. Smuggling involved both the larger merchant ships and also the smaller fishing vessels, including the inshore craft. Such was the extent of this activity that by the mid- I 8th century it was costing the British and Irish Governments £350,000 in lost revenue, plus a further loss to the Irish administration of £200,000 (Moore 1900, 438).

  • NEWSLETTER Winter 2013 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton
    NEWSLETTER Winter 2013 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton Melodious Mhelliah Our annual Mhelliah thanksgiving service was held on Monday 7th October at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street. Twenty-nine members and friends attended but, greatly missed, was MC and Treasurer Sam Weller and his wife Mary who had been called away to give help to family in-laws that were unwell. But very welcome back among us was Rose Fowler and Wendy who was on holiday from work. Terence and Christine Brack had come from the Island and some familiar faces like Margaret Hunt (who had been with us on Tynwald Day), Voirry and Robin Carr from Oxford, the Moore twins, Margaret and Maureen who grew up in Peel and Maureen Lomas brought a friend from South Africa. Sam, with his usual efficiency, had sent us a tick list of duties which Alastair, Stewart and Douglas were attending to when we arrived. We were welcomed by Alastair, our President, and the service was taken by past Bishop of Sodor and Mann, the Right Reverend Graeme Knowles. He drew our attention to the bidding prayer written by Bishop Wilson (1698-1755) who was also responsible for the act of worship before the herring fleet set out for a night's fishing. He spoke of each one of us being a walking harvest festival, possessing individual gifts and talents given by God of which we are stewards and need to react to throughout our lives. Our Island heritage was also one of God's gifts for which we give heartfelt thanks. There followed Maisie's wonderful recitation of the Lord's Prayer (Padiyr y Dhirn) in Manx and Margaret Brady played all our favourite harvest hymns leading us so well that Bishop commended us for our singing.

  • Eight Hour Coastal Tour
    Eight Hour Coastal Tour To start this coastal tour, you will be picked up at the Sea Terminal and driven north along Douglas Promenade, around Onchan Head and along the coast road to Groudle Glen. Groundle Glen After a short time spent relaxing, walking in the Glen and taking in the sea views, we drive on towards Laxey. Laxey After spending a little while wandering around Laxey’s quaint waterfront, we set off North along the coastal road stopping at Dhoon Glen. Dhoon Glen Dhoon Glen is picturesque but the walk down to the sea is very steep. Some people may find it too difficult to walk back, so if you are a little unsteady on your feet or prone to get tired on steep walks you may wish to stay on the higher level of the Glen. For those who are a little fitter, the walk down to the sea has its rewards. The Glen is only small but very beautiful and boasts a small waterfall. When we leave Doon Glen, we carry on north toward Ramsey, passing through Glen Mona village and the parish of Margould. Ramsey Ramsey is the second largest town on the Isle of Man and has quite a nice choice of shops. You may wish to spend a little time here browsing through the many small shops along the high Street (Parliament Street). You will also get the chance for a little refreshment in one of the town’s cafes or pubs. When we leave Ramsey, we travel further north to the Point of Ayre Lighthouse.
