All Saints Church - Lonan, Isle of Man - Churchyard Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

All Saints Church was built in 1834 and replaced the former St. Adamnan's Church. All saints is currently closed for public worship, so activities and worship are taking place at Christ Church in Laxey.

The Churchyard contains a War Memorial dedicated to the Royal Canadian Aircrew who died when their Halifax Bomber crashed in fields near the Church whilst on a training exercise in July 1944. The Memorial is also dedicated to only civilian casualty (Allan Charles McCulloch Aged 3 1/2 who was in a house hit by debris from the bomber and died in hospital shorty after the crash. This War Memorial was unveiled in 2006.

The Churchyard contains a large number of gravestones dating from the mid 19th Century to the present day.

The Churchyard is well maintiained and the graves are very neat and tidy.

Interestingly near the entrance to the 'Burial Ground' there is a noticeboard which diplays an extract from Lonan Burial Ground Regulation, 1998.
