Marianne E Harrison, Glen Mona, Isle of Man - Citizen Memorials on Waymarking.com

A memorial tablet in Christ Church, The Dhoon, Glen Mona, Isle of Man.

This rather simple rectangular tablet is affixed to the southern interior wall of the church and is inscribed with the following dedication:
“IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MARIANNE E HARRISON
ENTERED INTO REST
OCTOBER 13TH 1886”

Due to the lack of information on the tablet it has not been possible to find any information about Marianne and her life in Maughold or elsewhere.

Christ Church was built as a chapel-of-ease to Maughold but is now in shared Anglican and Methodist use.

The foundation stone of Christ Church was laid in June 1854 and the Church was consecrated in December 1855. The Church was built by Callow and Looney to a design by Ewan Christian of London, it cost £730. Architecturally is a reworking Christians style if Romanesque and so the windows and door openings are round headed not pointed. The interior is still largely unchanged from the original. The funds were largely provided by Mrs Saltmarshe and her daughters (Mr Saltmarshe had been the largest contributor to St. Thomas's Church Douglas.

The original 'Dhoon Church' was built around 1836 at the Dhoon Bridge which is about a mile to the south - and the name was transferred to the new church at Glen Mona (which has caused confusion ever since).
