William Kinrade

William Kinrade (1769-1854) was a writer of Manx carols who lived in Ballachrink, Maughold, in the Isle of Man. Kinrade is one of the most significant writers of Manx carols (or ‘carvels’), in an era when these are now considered to be the only surviving source of literature in Manx. To him have been attributed a number of carvels, including the following: • Lhig da’n slane seihll cur clashtyn / Let the whole world harken • O uss vriw bioee as merriu / Thou judge of living and dead • The Question-and-Answer carol. • The Carol of Warning and Example to Young Men • She corrym rish yn earish shoh • Cre'n stayd va dooinney hoshiaght • Carval Noah / Noah's Carol • Carval Susannah / Susannah's Carol The majority of these carvels were most notably published in Carvalyn Gailkagh (Manx Carols) by A. Moore in 1891.

Kirk Maughold The current church goes back to 1000AD to 1100AD, though many alterations and extensions were carried out over the centuries. Much work to modernise the church took place in the early 1900's. At the same time the Maughold Cross House was built. Designed by Armitage Rigby and was the project of PMC Kermode. The finished house was opened in 1906 by the Governor, Lord Raglan.
