A collection of four historical appendices to a scholarly work on Manx social and economic history. Appendix A presents an eyewitness account (mid-17th century) of formal reception procedures for arriving strangers in Man, describing the bureaucratic surveillance and interrogation apparatus. Appendices B-D document historical records on benevolences (1682), emergency defence procedures (1600), and debt imprisonment law (1418-1846), illustrating administrative structures and legal frameworks under the Lords of Man.

Editorial appendix from Monumenta de Insula Manniae clarifying the identity of an early Manx bishop named Hamond (son of Jole), and explaining how he was historically confused with Wimund, a 12th-century militant Norman monk. This source addresses medieval Manx ecclesiastical history and the reliability of chronicle sources.

A scholarly appendix from the Manx Society publications clarifying historical confusion between two medieval bishops: Hamond (a Manx bishop, son of Jole) and Wimund (a Norman monk and warrior-bishop). The text discusses how later historians erroneously conflated these figures and provides primary source citations from Matthew Paris and other chroniclers. Relevant to understanding medieval Manx ecclesiastical history and the reliability of historical sources used in Revestment-era scholarship.

Post medieval church, medieval church and burial ground. The parish of Arbory appears to have borne a dual dedication to St Cairbre of Coleraine and St Columbcille: medieval documents refer to 'terram Sancti Carebrie' (1153) and 'ad ecclesiam Sancti Carber' (1291), but also to 'terram Sti. Columbae, herbery vocatam' (1231) and 'Parochia Sti. Columbae' (1511). The reference to a church in 1291 would appear to confirm the presence of a medieval church on the site, and this may have been in whole or part the structure replaced in 1759 by the present church. The medieval church is itself likely to have replaced an older keeill structure. The present church was dedicated on 1st November 1759 by Bishop Hildesley. Just four years later, the church was extended eastwards by the construction of a new chancel. The church bells were originally housed in a simple belfry above the west door which survived until 1915 when a new, and rather incongruous, tower was added. Other than it being known that the previous church stood to the south of the present one, nothing is known of the latter's size or character; the same can be said of any earlier keeill which prompted the adoption of the site as the centre of the parish some time in the 12th century. It has been suggested that such a keeill may have been sited to the north of the current church, at the highest point in the old cemetery enclosure. Lintel graves have been found on several occasions when digging modern graves, in 1893, 1902 and 1951. Graves were also found during building works outside the cemetery on the south side. A sumner's pulpit stands outside the gate on the east side of the graveyard; its antiquity is unknown. The manner in which the cemetery is confined by straight walls and roads on the east and south sides suggests the potential for the medieval graveyard to extend beyond the modern boundary, and this would appear to be confirmed by the previous discovery of graves already mentioned. The grid reference is centred on the church.

Post medieval burial ground. The parish of Arbory appears to have borne a dual dedication to St Cairbre of Coleraine and St Columbcille: medieval documents refer to 'terram Sancti Carebrie' (1153) and 'ad ecclesiam Sancti Carber' (1291), but also to 'terram Sti. Columbae, herbery vocatam' (1231) and 'Parochia Sti. Columbae' (1511). The present late 18th century church stands towards the northerly edge of the burial ground as delineated on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868. The church which it replaced would have stood more centrally in the burial ground as shown, but it is difficult to be sure of the extent and limits of the cemetery in earlier times owing to the encroachments of more recent development to the east, west and south. Lintel graves have been found on several occasions when digging modern graves, in 1893 (to the south), 1902 (to the north) and 1951 (to the south-west). Graves were also found during building works outside the cemetery on the south side. The grid reference is centred on the burial ground as defined in 1868.

Modern burial ground. The parish of Arbory appears to have borne a dual dedication to St Cairbre of Coleraine and St Columbcille: medieval documents refer to 'terram Sancti Carebrie' (1153) and 'ad ecclesiam Sancti Carber' (1291), but also to 'terram Sti.

The grid reference is centred on the westerly extension of the burial ground, which constitutes the first of the extensions created after the Survey of 1868.

Post medieval sumner's pulpit The parish of Arbory appears to have borne a dual dedication to St Cairbre of Coleraine and St Columbcille: medieval documents refer to 'terram Sancti Carebrie' (1153) and 'ad ecclesiam Sancti Carber' (1291), but also to 'terram Sti. Columbae, herbery vocatam' (1231) and 'Parochia Sti. Columbae' (1511). A sumner's pulpit stands outside the gate on the east side of the graveyard; it takes the form of a substantial raised platform and is the finest example on the Island (the remains of another stand on the south side of St Patrick's Church on St Patrick's Isle). Its antiquity is unknown.
