Isle of Man Guide

History

The old church dating from before 1760 (as detailed in a inscription once on the north wall) was torn down. Two brass tablets from 1669 and 1692 are located on the north wall of the current 1830's church.

The first pipe organ used at Lezayre church from 1885 to 1926 was made by Edward Wadsworth of Salford in 1874.

Most of the crosses are from the Celtic chapel at Cronk ny How, Balleigh.
