John Wright 8,337 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Where do you draw the line, Earystane, Agneash, The Cooil, Pooilvaish, The Lhen, Ballakilpheric, Little London, etc? its an interesting question. Near my holiday home there’s a road sign, marking the start of a village, 50kph speed limit. Then, bus stop, notice board, small cemetery ( with 50 ossuary niches ) church ( one service a month ) and rectory ( empty since it was burned out during the civil war ) and a barbecue area, with seven tables and benches. Then there’s a sign with the name lined through, end of village. Not a living soul. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wrighty 5,683 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 What defines a village? Thinking back to my school geography it’s a village hall, and a population of a few hundred or so. Less than that and it’s a hamlet, population in the thousands and it’s a town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe the presence of a current, or past, church or chapel or school room. It’s a community, surely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shasto100 10 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Just after a suitable dropdown for Manxies to populate if they 'lived in/worked in/competed in' for an upcoming project really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suggest you list Castletown and Peel Separately from their parishes and then do an “other“ category under each parish where you have a village listed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
