Bishopscourt, Isle of Man

Bishopscourt (previously known as Ballacurry, in Manx: the farm of McCurry or O'Curry)[1] consists of a 17th-century mansion house, the St Nicholas (Private Chapel) in the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and 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 are now in private ownership.

Bishopscourt is situated north of Kirk Michael on the primary A3 Castletown to Ramsey road and is known as a historic point in the TT races, adjacent to the 16th Milestone road-side marker of the Snaefell Mountain Course close to the tertiary C19 Orrisdale Loop Road junction.

The Bishopscourt Manse and the Bishop's Glen form part of the boundary of the parishes of Michael and Ballaugh.

[3] One of its former owners was Lord Bishop George Lloyd of Chester, who married his daughter to the son of Chancellor David Yale.
