London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom. As the seat of the British government and Parliament, it was where the decisions leading to the Revestment of 1765 were made, where the Duke of Atholl's representatives negotiated the terms of sale, and where the Purchase Act and Mischief Act were rushed through both Houses in a fortnight. The Manx went there to be heard and mostly were not. George Moore came over from Peel on the Keys' business and found only Sir John Cust, the Speaker, warm in his sympathy. He was told by both Cust and the Duke of Atholl that once Chatham had been absent all hope of anything being done that session was gone, and he went home. Lord Clare at the Board of Trade was suspicious of the proposals and called the inhabitants of the Island's trading towns a nest of vermin collected from the dregs of the neighbouring countries. Hugh Cosnahan and his fellow delegates, arriving to learn what was being negotiated, waited on Hammersley the Duke's agent and told him the inhabitants were extremely ill used. In 1790 the Keys sent Norris Moore and John Cosnahan back again to oppose further compensation for the Duke, and Cosnahan made an able and brilliant speech at the Bar of the House. The money and the paperwork were London's too. Edmund Hoskins of Lincoln's Inn was one of the two trustees in whose names the Island was bought, and the seventy thousand pounds was paid into the Bank of England. The lawyer Rolt was hired there in 1766 to draw Moore's case for the Treasury, and produced a document about the prerogatives of the Lord rather than the rights of the people. The Island made one memorable appearance in the city. In February 1872 the Attorney-General, the senior member of the Keys and the Speaker drove to the thanksgiving at St Paul's in a carriage with the Three Legs painted on the panel, a symbol then almost unknown in London, and it attracted considerable attention.

Lorne House on Douglas Street in Castletown was originally called "Lorn House" and stands on land that had long formed part of the Abbey estate held by the Taubman family; it has even been suggested the site may overlie a keeill (early chapel), with the 1863 Ordnance Survey marking a "Site of Chapel" nearby, though no conclusive archaeological evidence has confirmed this. The house was built for Robert Cunninghame, son of William Cunninghame and Christian Taubman, who lived there until his death in 1832, with his widow dying two years later; on stylistic grounds the architect may have been Thomas Brine, who worked elsewhere in Castletown. With the house standing empty, Lieutenant-Governor Colonel John Ready leased it from 1834, needing better quarters after rooms at Castle Rushen were given over to the courthouse, and the island's governors continued to use it until 1860, when Governor Pigott's lease was not renewed and the government relocated to Douglas. The house later served from 1931 as a Christian Endeavour holiday home, was converted to investment company offices from 1972 with alterations to its facade, and was restored as a private residence from 2007 by the developer Roy Tilleard.

Lough House on Approach Road, Ramsey, was added to the Isle of Man's register of protected buildings in April 1986 in recognition of its architectural or historical interest, but no further published historical detail about the property has been found.

The Lower Lighthouse is one of a pair of lighthouses built in 1818 on the Calf of Man, the small island off the Isle of Man's south-western tip, under the Isle of Man and Calf of Man Lighthouses Act 1815. It was designed by the noted Scottish lighthouse engineer Robert Stevenson to warn shipping of the Chicken Rock reef lying off the Calf's southern end. Together with its twin, the Upper Lighthouse, it guided mariners for over half a century until 1875, when both were superseded by a single new lighthouse built directly on Chicken Rock itself, better placed to warn ships in foggy conditions. The two early Calf lighthouses have been disused as navigational aids ever since, though they survive as among the oldest lighthouse structures associated with the Isle of Man.

Malew Church, about a mile and a half north of Castletown, was the parish church serving the town when Castletown was the Island's ancient capital, and the parish is first referenced in the Chronicle of Man in connection with a battle in 1250. A description from around 1648 calls it 'a handsome church with a spire steeple', and a 1651 sketch by Daniel King shows an earlier roofless building with high gables and a western bell turret. The present church comprises a nave, transept and chancel with a bell turret, a stained-glass east window, a Norman font, and pre-Reformation chalice, paten and crucifix, along with numerous monumental tablets. Its large churchyard, sometimes called 'the Westminster Abbey of the Isle of Man', holds memorials to notable Manx figures including William Christian ('Illiam Dhone').

Manannan House, on Market Square, began life in the late eighteenth century as a public house known as The George, owned by John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl. The War Office acquired the building in 1828 and converted it into barracks around 1830, and it served as a garrison until the troops were withdrawn in 1896. In 1911 the War Department sold the property to the Castletown Commissioners for £600, and it became the town's Town Hall, remaining so until a new civic centre was built in 1989, after which the building passed into private ownership and was renamed Manannan House. Today it houses retail and leisure tenants on Castletown's main square.

The Manx Museum in Douglas opened on 2 November 1922 in a former hospital building on Crellin's Hill, following passage of the Museum and Ancient Monuments Act 1886, which established a national institution to safeguard the island's heritage. After Noble's Hospital relocated in 1912, the vacated building passed to museum trustees; under founding director P. M. C. Kermode it developed collections spanning some 10,000 years of Manx history, from the Stone Age to the present. A major redevelopment between 1986 and 1989 added a lecture theatre, cinema, and art gallery, and Queen Elizabeth II formally reopened the expanded museum in 1989. Today it is run by Manx National Heritage and shares its site with the National Art Gallery and the Manx National Library and Archives, hosting permanent archaeology and natural history galleries alongside changing temporary exhibitions.

Copper-mining district in the northern Rocky Mountains which drew Manx miners from the late nineteenth century. Montana has produced copper for something over eighty years, principally around Butte, a site which has been called the richest hill on earth. Silver, gold, lead and zinc were worked there as well. The district's Manx element was strong enough to support a branch of the North American Manx Association, and the men who went out included Wilson Jenkinson, a Foxdale miner whose great-grandfather had come from the English Lake District. The connection is one of skill rather than of chance. Foxdale was the Island's own lead and zinc field, and the mining districts of Montana recruited the kind of men it trained. Nothing further about the settlement survives in the corpus consulted. Of the sixteen passages returned for this item, fifteen are false positives on the word Butte, mostly Butteland in Northumberland, the Earl of Bute and the Butte de Tumiac in Brittany.

Chicago attracted Manx settlers particularly after the great fire of 1871, when reconstruction work brought over many Manx builders and carpenters. By the mid-twentieth century, the city contained a substantial population of Manx descent, with about half of the North American Manx Association's Illinois membership residing in and around Chicago. The Manx had reached Illinois well before the city drew them. Although the state entered the Union in 1818 its settlement was not rapid, because access from the east was awkward until the railway got through to Chicago from Detroit in 1852. The easier way in was from the south, by New Orleans and the Mississippi, and that was the route the first recorded Manx settlers took: the Kelly family from Onchan. Small groups of farmers from the Island arrived at Brimfield in 1848 and 1849 and spread from there into the adjoining counties, so the Galva and Peoria districts can claim to be the oldest Manx settlements in the state. Most of the association's Illinois members outside Chicago still lived in those districts in the 1950s. Chicago itself drew Manx people from other parts of North America as well as directly from the Island. One of them turned the city's growth to account: in 1884 John J. Keig from Ballaugh was opening trading posts and carting produce to and from Chicago along the old plank roads. No estimate has ever been made of how many people of some Manx descent the city holds, and they are found in a wide variety of occupations.

Galva, in the north-central section of Illinois, was settled by Manx farming families from 1848 and 1849 onwards, with emigrants coming particularly from Onchan, Crosby, Peel, and northern parishes such as Bride and Andreas. The Galva Manx Society held meetings attended by several hundred persons, and the settlement formed part of a broader Manx presence across the Illinois prairie farmlands.

Minnesota was among the American states where Manx emigrants settled during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The state's membership in the North American Manx Association reflects the broader pattern of Manx settlement across the upper Midwest. It came well down the order. The standard survey of Manx settlement in the United States puts Ohio first and Illinois next, with Wisconsin some distance behind, then the mining areas of Montana, Wyoming and Arizona. Minnesota is named among the other states of any significance in the Middle West, with Iowa and Nebraska, alongside a few in the north-east, namely Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut, and Utah, Colorado and the District of Columbia.

Manx miners settled in Iowa County, Wisconsin, near Dodgeville and Mineral Point, during the lead mining boom of the mid-nineteenth century. By 1855 the community was large enough to build its own church, known as the Laxey Church, but the settlement dispersed as the shallow lead deposits were exhausted in the second half of the century.

Central parish of the Isle of Man, lying between Douglas and Peel. Marown formed one of the seventeen historic parishes of the Island. In the eighteenth century it belonged to Middle Sheading, but the Common Law Courts Act of 1796 altered the arrangement and placed German, Patrick and Marown together in the Sheading of Glanfaba. The parish contained a number of substantial farms and estates. Robertson’s survey listed Ballakilly, the Gharth, Ballahutchin, Ballaquiney Moar, Ballaquiney Beg, Ballanicholas, Corvalley and Ballacallin among the principal properties. Ballakilly was then associated with the Rev. Thomas Christian. Thomas Christian was also responsible for one of the earliest substantial works printed in Manx. Robertson recorded Paradise Lost translated into Manx by the Rev. Thomas Christian of Ballakilly, Kirk Marown, probably published in Douglas in the 1790s. Marown had its own fair in February. Robertson’s parish-register summary recorded twenty-four baptisms and eleven burials in 1792, twenty-nine baptisms and twelve burials in 1793, and similar totals during the following years, although marriages were omitted from the return. The parish lay across the central route between Douglas, St John’s and Peel. Its position also brought it into the landscape of St Trinian’s at Greeba, where the ruined chapel became attached to one of the best-known Buggane traditions on the Island.

This building on Hilary Park, historically known as Woodbourne House, now serves as the Freemasons' Hall for the Isle of Man and has been the centre of Manx masonic life since 1925, marking its centenary with a public open day in 2025. Before the Freemasons took it over, the house had earlier been used as a girls' boarding school and as a nursing home. The hall retains features of note to visitors, including a spiral staircase considered significant within freemasonry, stained-glass windows that were hidden away during the Second World War, and artefacts by the Manx Art Nouveau designer Archibald Knox, who was himself a freemason.

Kirk Maughold churchyard, on the site of an early Christian monastery predating Rushen Abbey with the remains of four keeills, houses the largest collection of early Manx carved stone crosses in one place. Its covered Cross House, opened in 1906, contains 38 crosses spanning over 700 years, including the oldest Manx cross slab, a stone bearing both ogham and runic inscriptions, a rare Viking ship carving, and the Pillar Cross - the only surviving parish cross on the Island and the earliest stone-carved depiction of the three legs of Mann. The site is named after St Maughold, the Island's patron saint.

Maughold Head is a high headland at the southern end of Ramsey Bay on the island's east coast, topped by a lighthouse designed by David A. and Charles Stevenson and first lit in 1914. The 23-metre tower, automated in 1993, has a focal height of 65 metres and a range of 15 nautical miles, warning ships away from the steep cliffs below. The headland is reachable on foot from a small clifftop car park, though visitors are warned to keep well back from the drops.

A 23-metre lighthouse on Maughold Head at the southern end of Ramsey Bay, completed in 1914 and designed by David A. and Charles Stevenson. It was built after shipping owner Lord Inverclyde complained in 1909 that vessels had foundered due to poor signalling near the Whitestone Bank. The light was automated in 1993 and remains operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

Maughold Lighthouse stands on Maughold Head, becoming operational on 15 April 1914. It was designed by the Stevenson brothers, David Alan and Charles Alexander Stevenson, members of the celebrated family of Scottish lighthouse engineers, and rises as a 23-metre masonry tower with a focal height of about 65 metres above the sea, taking full advantage of the headland's height. Its fog signal was deactivated in 1987 and the light itself was automated in 1993, after which the former keepers' cottages were converted into holiday accommodation; the tower is still maintained and operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

May Hill House stands in the May Hill/Summerland area of Ramsey. Beyond its listing as a Registered Building, no verifiable historical details about this specific property could be found online.

Milner's Tower stands on Bradda Head above Port Erin, built in 1871 in memory of William Milner, a safe-maker born in Sheffield who ran his business in Liverpool before retiring to the village and became a noted local philanthropist, funding charities for poverty-stricken fishermen. Unusually, the tower's plan is shaped like a key and lock in tribute to Milner's safemaking trade, and although it was intended as a surprise memorial he learned of the project and personally contributed to its construction costs. St Catherine's Church in Port Erin, funded by a bequest from Milner, is a companion memorial to the village he supported.

Milner's Tower stands on Bradda Head above Port Erin, built in 1871 as a memorial to William Milner, a manufacturer of fire- and burglar-resistant safes with strong Manx connections, who used his wealth to support poor Manx fishermen and other local charitable causes. Fittingly for a safe-maker, the tower was designed in the shape of a giant key and lock. The memorial was originally intended as a surprise, but Milner learned of the scheme and ended up contributing much of the construction cost himself. It is reached via Bradda Glen, on the stretch of the Isle of Man's coastal footpath (Raad ny Foillan) between Port Erin and Peel, and remains one of the most recognisable landmarks on the Island's west coast, appearing on Port Erin's own crest.

Historic estate in Lezayre, for centuries the principal Manx seat of the Christian family. The Christians were established at Milntown by the early fifteenth century. A family account printed in the Manx Note Book begins with John McCristen, recorded as one of the Deemsters in 1408. By the seventeenth century the family had become one of the most prominent on the Island. James Stanley, seventh Earl of Derby, remarked in 1643 that there were many Christians in Mann and that they had "made themselves chief here." Milntown was not simply a residence. Deemsters commonly held courts in their own houses, and in 1661 Ewan Curghey, Coroner of Ayre, ordered William Sayle to appear before Deemster John Christian at Milntown. Sayle failed to attend and was fined twelve pence. The estate was closely connected with several leading figures in seventeenth-century Manx politics. William Christian, Illiam Dhone, was a younger son of Deemster Ewan Christian of Milntown. Another member of the family, Edward Christian, served as Lieutenant-Governor before falling into conflict with James Stanley. The family also possessed the small freehold Barony of the Hough in Maughold, containing about 420 acres. It had formerly belonged to the Priory of St Bees in Cumberland but later passed to the Christians of Milntown. The number of customary tenants was too small to form a Setting Quest, most of the barony consisting of demesne land held directly by its lord. By the later eighteenth century the family had also become established at Ewanrigg in Cumberland. John Christian of Ewanrigg and Milntown, born in 1756, married Margaret Taubman in Maughold church in 1776. After her death he married Isabella Curwen in 1782, took the surname Curwen, and later sat both in the House of Commons and the Manx House of Keys. A later Deemster John Christian of Milntown protested to Sir Walter Scott over the depiction of Edward Christian in Peveril of the Peak. Scott replied that his Edward Christian was "a mere creature of the imagination."

Milntown, on the outskirts of Ramsey, was for centuries the seat of the powerful Christian family, whose standing in Manx affairs was already established by 1408, when a charter names John McCrystyn as Deemster. The present mansion dates only from the 1750s, replacing an earlier ruined house nearby, and was substantially remodelled after Deemster John Christian returned to live there in 1830. Following the death of William Bell Christian in 1886 the house passed through use as a private school and then a hotel before the wider estate, including its old mill, mill pond and mill race, was registered as a protected building in 1997; it is now run by the Milntown Trust as one of the island's few stately-home visitor attractions, with its historic gardens open to the public.
