- Death of Ned Maddrell
- Description
- Ned Maddrell, the last native speaker of Manx Gaelic, died at Cregneash. His death was reported internationally as the death of a language. But by then, Brian Stowell and Douglas Faragher and others had already begun the revival work that would prove the reports premature. The language was not dead. It was waiting.
