The site of a post-medieval chapel at Bishopscourt. Bishopscourt, the historic residence of the Bishop of Sodor and Man, was possibly founded by Bishop Simon (d. 1247); its earliest surviving structure is a tower dating from the late 14th century. By the 17th century the complex included a chapel straddling the parish boundary between Ballaugh and Michael, alongside a hall. James, 7th Earl of Derby, fortified the house and used it as a summer residence between 1643 and 1651. Bishop Wilson found the buildings largely ruined in 1698 and undertook major restoration. Bishop Murray employed architect Thomas Brine to build a new Georgian Gothic chapel between 1814 and 1828; this was demolished and replaced by a Victorian chapel under Bishop Powys in 1858. A major fire in 1893 destroyed the central portion of the house, prompting reconstruction under Bishop Straton, and in 1895 the chapel became a pro-Cathedral with stalls for the Cathedral Chapter. Diocesan association with the site ended when Bishopscourt was sold into private ownership in 1979.
