St Patrick's Chapel, West Nappin Schoolroom
Archaeology
Post medieval schoolroom. Investigation of the site by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1910 showed that the existing building was of two phases.
The structure, which is orientated ENE-WSW, is roofless, and now measures 6.1 by 3.4m internally.
Although the east gable and a short length of the adjacent north and south walls are of 14th or 15th century date, the remainder apparently dates to around 1749, when the building was converted into a schoolroom. The masonry re-uses older stonework, but is bound together using a clay matrix rather than lime mortar.
