Old Grammar School
The Grammar School was originally a chapel built about 1190 – 1230 AD. It consisted of a nave and a south aisle divided by an arcade of three Romanesque arches. The arches were constructed of yellowish sandstone and supported by limestone piers. The doorway in the north wall may be original, but there are no surviving traces of the medieval windows, wall plaster, floor or roof materials.
The school is sited on Castletown harbor with Castle Rushen to the north and the sea to the south. From the school, you can see out to Langness and Scarlett. The building stopped being used as a school in the 1930s and is now a museum to the public. It still has the original school desks, chairs, blackboards, etc. from the last days of the school.
