Malew
Malew (Malew) is one of the seventeen parishes of the Isle of Man.
It is located in the south of the island (part of the traditional South Side division) in the sheading of Rushen.
Administratively, part of the historic parish of Malew is now covered by the town of Castletown. As a result, there is a small exclave of the parish district which includes Scarlett point.
Other settlements in the parish include Ballasalla, Derbyhaven and St Mark's.
For the purposes of local government, most of the historic parish forms a single parish district with five elected Commissioners.
Since 1883, an area in the south of the historic parish of Malew has formed the separately administered town of Castletown, with its own town commissioners.
The Captain of the Parish (since 1996) is Roy H. Gelling.

Humans have lived on the island since before 6500 BC. Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD, when Irish missionaries following the teaching of St. Patrick began settling the island, and the Manx language, a branch of the Goidelic languages, emerged. In 627, King Edwin of Northumbria conquered the Isle of Man along with most of Mercia. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the thalassocratic Kingdom of the Isles, which included the Isle of Man. Magnus III, King of Norway from 1093 to 1103, reigned as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103.
