LONAN (INCLUDING THE VILLAGE of LAXEY).

The parish of LONAN (formerly called Loman, from St. Lomanus, a nephew of St. Patrick) extends from Pert Growdale to Slieau Ouyre, a distance of six miles, and from Carnane Bane, on the east of Pen-y-Phot, to the sea, a distance of over four miles ; and contains an area of about 15 square miles. It is an upland district, its western parts being hilly and barren ; but its eastern parts, especially in the deep, sheltered glens, are more productive and moderately well cultivated. It contains no point exceeding 1,100 feet. Its coast line is high and rocky, and broken by several headlands and bays. The great headlands are Laxey Head, and Clay Head ; and the chief openings are Bulgham Bay, Laxey Bay, Garwick, and Port Growdale. The district is pierced from east to west, or rather from NW. to SE. by several deep depressions—Laxey Glen, famous for its romantic beauty, extending from Snaefell to the sea; Glen Gawne, from the Skoryn to the sea at Garwick ; and Growdale, from Slieu Meayle and Slieau Ree to the sea. A number of small streams flow down the hills to the sea, the principal of which are the Laxey river and the Glen Gawne river. The district is partly agricultural and partly mining, the Great Laxey mines, situated in Laxey Glen, the Snaefell mine, at the foot of Snaefell, and the Glenroy mine, in Glenroy, employing a large number of workpeople. The village of Laxey contains about 2,000 inhabitants, and possesses a small port at the mouth of the Laxey river. The population in 1851 was 2,607, and in 1871 it was 3,741 ; the increase being due to the growth of the mining population, chiefly in the village of Laxey. The parish is a vicarage, and the present incumbent is tie Rev. F. Moore. One of the great attractions is the celebrated Victoria Park, a beautiful and popular resort in Laxey Glen.
