Kirk Andreas - St Andrew

Kirk Andreas - St Andrew Built 1802 using stone from Sulby Glen. A 120 ft bell tower linked to the church by an arch was added in 1869 but middle section was removed during WW2 by the Air Ministry in order to improve safety at the nearby airfield . Although money was allocated to rebuild it after the war, the parish decided it had more pressing demands to satisfy.
