With the power struggle between England and Scotland that started in , the land changed hands many times, depending on who had the upper hand at the time.

Henry IV had Scrope beheaded in and gave the islands to the Percy family. Sodor's annexation did not imply possession of occupation, but that many a time the new owners had a large rebellion on their hands, with locals retreating to the hills and often attacking the area between Brendam , Cronk and Rolf's Castle , which was usually occupied. Sudrians had never acknowledged the Percys, and took great delight in sacking them under the leadership of their regent, Sir Arnold de Normanby.

Sir Peter de Rigby was Henry IV's commander, and during the campaign he and de Normanby developed a considerable liking and respect for one other. Upon de Normanby's surrender of Sodor and his regency, Henry showed wisdom and returned its government to de Normanby and the Abbot of Cronk. Some Sudrians were a little reluctant to accept the new order, but Henry created de Normanby Earl of Sodor, showing Sudrians that he respected their former regent whilst bringing the resistance to an end and attaching Sodor to the English Crown.

Michael Colden, Abbot of Cronk, and Sir Geoffrey Regaby had thought about the possibility of the reformation and both thought it wrong for people to be harassed or persecuted. They were also aware of King Henry's wishes and of Cromwell's thievish plans, and were determined to ensure that the Abbey revenues were kept for the Church and Sodor, not wasted. To this period, onwards, many churches and schools were built on the island where they were most needed, and in many of these the former brethren of the Abbey found employment.

Their policy of "no pressure" ensured that during the reign of Edward VI relations between Roman Catholics and the Church of England were good, and the Roman Catholic reaction, which swept swiftly through England during Queen Mary's reign, hardly touched Sodor. Colden died in , but his policy was continued by Timothy Smeale, allowing Roman Catholics to worship at their churches.

It was in , when Pope Pius Bull excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I, that some reluctantly felt that they must be recusants, and worship separately. They made it understood that, while on the subject of religion they could not accept Queen Elizabeth as Head of the Church, this did not make their loyalty to her waver.

By , most of the people of that generation had died and as children leaned towards the Church of England there remained no ill feeling. The next major chapter in Sodor's history was the coming of the railways, which began with a railway from Ward Fell to Balladwail , opened in The further rail investment in the island, such as building the North Western Railway during and , later led to the island's growth and prosperity as a tourist area and for the local industries.

A government-funded joining of the Island's standard gauge railways occurred in In , it became the North Western Region of British Railways , but this term was never used as the railway kept its operating independence. With privatisation in the early s, it officially became the North Western Railway.
