“Interesting church - full of history”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2012

This church is not in Castletown as stated, it is in fact in St John's, adjacent to Tynwald Hill. Inside you can see 'Osruth's Cross, part of a 10th century Norse slab uncovered when the church was rebuilt. The seats have labels for the members of Tynwald and shows where they sit on Tynwald Day (5 July) each year.
