The modern Marown parish church. Marown parish, dedicated to St Runius (also called Ronan or Ma-Ronan), is the only landlocked parish on the Isle of Man. The present ("new") St Runius church, in the centre of the parish, replaced the older medieval church (Old St Runius) as the parish church in 1853. The land for the new church was donated in 1844 by Phillip Killey, a Douglas brewery owner; Tynwald approved the scheme in 1847; the foundation stone was laid by Bishop Auckland in 1849; and the church was consecrated in 1859. It was designed by architect Ewan Christian in a standard cruciform plan with a bellcote and north porch, built of slate with granite dressings, and has a plastered nave with lancet windows. It contains two stained-glass windows by William Glasby, said to be the only examples of his work in a Manx church. A vestry was added in 1899, the church was reroofed in 1958, and an organ was installed in 1959. The displaced Old St Runius church was thereafter used as a mortuary chapel, fell into disrepair, and was restored by volunteers before reopening for services on 9 August 1959.
