St. Peter's Church - Cregneish, Isle of Man - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

History
The Rev. William Corrin (the Vicar from 1824 to 1859) started church services in a local farmhouse at Cregneish and these continued until the villagers felt that they would like a church of their own.

The foundation stone, of the present church, was laid by Mrs EM Gawne in 1878 (who also donated the land). A later vicar, the Rev. John Duffield in his book A History of Kirk Christ Rushen, was to record that ‘the building cost £150 which seems an absurdly small amount until we realise that to the building, “the people of Cregneish gave their time and labour”.

During its early years the building served a dual purpose of being the local village school during the week, and holding Church services on a Sunday.
