[2][1] Under the influence of St Patrick and what is referred to as his "Romish missionaries," the Isle of Man saw the erection of a series of small chapels throughout the Island.

[1] Much of the cost was covered by donations and contributions, with the short-fall being met by holders of Quarterlands, cottages and Intacks in the parish with the amounts paid being levied by church wardens and sidemen.

As there is no quarry in the parish, stone was sourced from Sulby Glen and many of the slates from the old church were reused on the new construction in order to keep costs down.

[1] During the war years an electric blower for the church organ was donated by serving personnel at RAF Andreas.

The west end of the church was extended to include new entrances on the north and south sides, with a central stairway to the gallery.

A large bell was housed in the tower and granite circles and shapes were made from a split farm roller which was given to the builders for the purpose.

With the opening of RAF Andreas in 1941, the Air Ministry was given permission to cut down the flagpole on top of the tower and to replace it with an obstruction light.

[4][1] Designed by Cosmo Kendall, an inhabitant of the parish, the war memorial was erected by 85 parishioners who gave their time voluntarily.
