Old Kirk Braddan, dedicated to St Brendan (Braddan), was rebuilt in 1777 on the site of a much older church and is traditionally regarded as one of the places where Christianity first reached the Isle of Man. The churchyard holds nine Runic-period stone crosses (Celtic and Norse, dated roughly 800-1265 AD), several carved with the ring-chain design associated with the sculptor Gaut, son of Bjorn of Coll, and bearing runic memorial inscriptions such as one recording 'Olaf Liotulfson erected this cross to the memory of Ulf his son'. It remains an important site for understanding the island's Celtic-Norse Christian heritage.
