BALLAUGH.

Ballaugh parish is situate on the north-west coast of the island, in the sheading of Michael. It is bounded on the east by Lezayre, on the south by Michael parish, on the west by the sea, and on the north by Jurby. In length from north to south it is about five miles, and from east to west about, three miles. The village is pleasantly situated on the main road between Peel and Ramsey, and on the long road between Douglas and Ramsey, distant seven miles from Ramsey, nine from Peel, and nineteen each from Douglas and Castletown. Here is a station on the Manx Northern Railway. The northern part of the parish is level and fertile; the southern mountainous and barren, containing Slieau Chairn, 1533, and Sloeau Dhoo, 1139 feet above the sea level. The name of the parish is derived from bg a village, and lough, a lake -"The Village of the Lake;" as formerly a large lake was comprised in the parish, but it has since been drained, and now forms some of the most fertile land on the island. The parish church of St. Mary is a handsome and commanding structure, capable of accommodating 600, erected in 1832. The living, a rectory, value £344, in the patronage of the Crown, and held by the Rev. Wm. Kermode. The Wesleyans have two chapels in the parish and the primitive Methodists one.
