History
"Founded approximately 450 A.D. by Saint Maughold, who was expelled from Ireland by Saint Patrick and later became Bishop of Sodor and Man. The parish church started life as a monastic keeill* and contains traces of later 12th century construction, possibly commissioned by the Viking King Olaf 1 (1114-1154). There are three extant keeills in the large monastic enclosure (now the graveyard), together with a large collection of Celtic and Viking crosses."

This is an extract from the Manx Notebook website:The present church dates from around the 11th to 12th century though considerably extended in later centuries. (visit link)
