Old Kirk Braddan

Archaeology

Modern cemetery.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 shows Braddan parish church and its burial ground at this location.


The present parish church was built in 1773. The surrounding burial ground contains many fine Victorian and Georgian headstones and tombs, reflecting the burgeoning development of Douglas through the 19th century. The largest memorial is an obelisk erected to Lord Henry Murray, a younger brother of John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, and briefly lieutenant-governor of the Island until his death in 1805.
