The Tynwald, or more formally, the High Court of Tynwald is the legislature of the Isle of Man. Tynwald claims to be over 1,000 years old, and thus the 'oldest continuous parliament' in the world. In 1979, the Manx people celebrated the millennium of their parliament, although there is no evidence that suggests such an assembly was held in 979, or that any such event resembled the modern day court.

The 13th and 14th centuries are represented by an English ship of the early 14th Century. They were known as cogs and traded throughout the North Sea, Celtic Sea and the Baltic. In the background is Castle Rushen which came to prominence in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the Island was under Scottish and then English suzerainty. MILLENNIUM OF TYNWALD |
