context_page_description: Garff is one of the six sheadings of the Isle of Man.
  It is located on the east of the island and consists of the two historic parishes of Lonan and Maughold. Before 1796 it also included the parish of Onchan.
  Administratively, since May 2016 the sheading of Garff has been covered by a single Garff local authority, a parish district, formed by merging the former village district of Laxey with the parish districts of Lonan and Maughold.
  The town of Ramsey, which is administered separately, covers areas of two historic parishes. It is treated as part of Garff for some purposes, e.g. the coroner.
  Other settlements in the sheading include Baldrine and Ballabeg, and Ballure in the parish of Maughold.
