Stamp collection to celebrate historic exhibition

A stamp collection which celebrates the historic Chronicles of the Kings of Mann will be released next week.

The Post Office is marking the return of the famous manuscript to the Island which was written by monks at Rushen Abbey. 

The manuscript makes up part of a special exhibition at the Manx Museum – The Forgotten Kingdom – which is also showcasing the famous Lewis Chessmen. 

The figures are a group of 12th century chess pieces most of which are carved from walrus ivory. 

The stamps, which are the first to be released this year, will be officially launched on January 11.
