Summary
Description'Mount Aeolus', Bishopscourt Glen, Isle of Man - geograph.org.uk - 1523108.jpg |
English: 'Mount Aeolus', Bishopscourt Glen, Isle of Man The little-known Bishopscourt Glen was formerly part of the garden belonging to the Bishop of Man and Sodor. The curious mound named 'Mount Aeolus' is shaped like Tynwald Hill, and as seen here, at its summit were two guns. These guns are not there now: they were stolen in 1987, and have not been recovered. The inscription on the tablet reads: ‘'This mound was formed into its present shape and called Mount Aeolus by Bishop Hyldesley to commemorate the victory of the English over the French fleet under Thurot off this coast Feb 25th 1760. The bowspit of the ship Belleisle was originally placed on this spot - but two cannons are all that remains as trophies of the victory.[1] |
