Name

Kirk Maughold

Description

Parish church on the northeast coast, named for the saint said to have arrived from Ireland in a coracle. The churchyard holds one of the most remarkable collections of carved crosses anywhere in the British Isles — over a hundred fragments and complete stones spanning the full breadth of the Island's cultural life. Some purely Celtic, others unmistakably Norse, and some carrying both traditions on the same piece of rock.
