The catalogue number and perforation are confirmed catalogue data. The shared photograph illustrates the stamp design; it does not certify that the illustrated copy has this perforation. No provisional or unverified catalogue-number prefix is required.<ref name="SG2022-204-205" />

== Subject ==

The sheet identifies the subject as the church dedicated to St Patrick at Jurby, on an elevated coastal site. It dates the present church’s consecration to 1829 and describes earlier churches on the site.<ref name="sheet-A">{{Cite

== Production details ==

The official sheet credits J. H. Nicholson, R.I., P.S., and the House of Questa. It specifies lithography, four colours for each value, 26 × 34 mm stamps, and white unwatermarked security-coated paper with PVA gum, 102 g/m². Its perforation specification is 14 per 2 cm. The catalogue additionally lists perforation 14½ for twelve denominations.<ref name="sheet-A" /><ref name="SG2022-204-205" />

The official paper specification explicitly says unwatermarked. This describes the low/medium-value issue; the catalogue records both perforations as printed at the same time. The perforation value for this entry comes from the catalogue, not from measuring the shared photograph.<ref name="sheet-A" /><ref name="SG2022-204-205" />

The catalogue states that both perforations of the ½p–16p stamps were printed at the same time, but some were not recorded in use until later. It gives these earliest recorded uses: SG112a (1p), August 1979; SG114a (7p), August 1978; SG115a (8p), June 1980; SG117a (10p), August 1979; and SG119 (12p), September 1980. Those are earliest-use records, not exact issue dates.<ref name="SG2022-204-205" />

== Sheets, plates and imprints ==

Sheets: 50 (5 × 10). Plate numbers: 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D (each × 4), explicitly for SG112. The 1p listing also records 1A–1A–2A–1A, 1B–1B–2B–1B, 1C–1C–2C–1C and 1D–1D–2D–1D (each × 4); the supplied wording does not explicitly assign those combinations to a perforation. Imprint: Left-hand corner, top margin, and right-hand corner, bottom margin.<ref name="SG2022-204-205" />

== Withdrawal ==

This stamp was withdrawn from sale on 30 June 1983. No quantity-sold or sold-out figures have been supplied.<ref name="SG2022-204-205" />
