This small building was built around 1200AD and was the first church to serve the settlement that sprung up around Castle Rushen. The main wing is the oldest roofed structure in the Isle of Man. St. Mary’s Chapel was also used as a school from at least 1570 and served exclusively in that capacity after 1702. It is best known for the Academic School, the forerunner of King William’s College, and the Grammar School which finally closed in 1930.
