Bishopscourt, Isle of Man

Bishopscourt (previously known as Ballacurry, in (マン島語:the farm of McCurry or O'Curry)),〔''Place Names of the Isle of Man'' by John Kneen MA pp446 (1970) Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh The Scolar Press〕 consists of a Seventeenth Century Mansion House, the St Nicholas (Private Chapel) in the Church of England Diocese of Sodor & Man, and the former estate of Ballachurry or Bishopscourt Manse. Previously the official residence of the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the current Bishopscourt House and estate is now in private ownership.
Bishopscourt is situated north of Kirk Michael on the primary A3 Castletown to Ramsey road and is known as an historic point in the TT races, part of the Snaefell Mountain Course adjacent to the 16th Milestone road-side marker close to the tertiary C19 Orrisdale Loop Road junction. The Bishopscourt Manse and the Bishop's Glen forms the boundary of the parishes of Michael and Ballaugh.
==Description==
The current residence dates from the Seventeenth Century; the former moated ''King Orry's Tower'' and previous timbered residence was rebuilt by Bishop Thomas Wilson from 1698 after finding the 'house in ruins nothing but an sentient tower and chapel remaining entire'. Bishop Wilson rebuilt in the present castellated baronial style which was enlarged by Bishop Claudius Crigan from 1784 onwards. The King Orry's Tower was repaired and restored by Bishop Crigan in preparation 'to reside at Bishopscourt, to repair and even rebuild the ruins of which as all was ruins has cost a very severe expense'.〔''Athol Papers'' 117-10〕 The medieval chapel dating from 1651 adjacent to King Orry's Tower was demolished circa 1815 and replaced by a Georgian Chapel on the same site, subsequently being replaced a Victorian Gothic ''Chapel of St. Nicholas'' on a slightly different site by Bishop Horatio Powys.〔''An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Isle of Man'' by David T.Webber Revised by Frank Cowin and F.J.Radcliffe pp 22 (1997) The Manx Experience ISBN 1-873120-25-7〕 Further renovation occurred after a fire in 1893 destroyed the hall section of Bishopscourt house.〔''The Fort at Bishopscourt, Isle of Man'' by R A Curphy page 8 Medieval Archaeology〕
