St Mary's Chapel (Disused)

High Street, Rothesay PA20 9JH

Beautiful 13th century chapel once the Cathedral of the Isles

St Marys Chapel sits on the site of the Cathedral of Sodor (the Isles) until 1692, however the building dates from the 13th century. It is a simple rectangular building containing a lovely carved effigy of a Norman knight and a pair of fascinating altar tombs set into the side wall, made of a pale sandstone. The graveyard contains the resting place of one Stephanie Bonaparte, reputedly the niece of the famous Napoleon Bonaparte, although this is not substantiated.
