  • The Jersey Heritage Answersheet
    THE JERSEY HERITAGE Monuments Quiz ANSWERSHEET 1 Seymour Tower, Grouville Seymour Tower was built in 1782, 1¼ miles offshore in the south-east corner of the Island. Jersey’s huge tidal range means that the tower occupies the far point which dries out at low tide and was therefore a possible landing place for invading troops. The tower is defended by musket loopholes in the walls and a gun battery at its base. It could also provide early warning of any impending attack to sentries posted along the shore. 2 Faldouet Dolmen, St Martin This megalithic monument is also known as La Pouquelaye de Faldouët - pouquelaye meaning ‘fairy stones’ in Jersey. It is a passage grave built in the middle Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, the main stones transported here from a variety of places up to three miles away. Human remains were found here along with finds such as pottery vessels and polished stone axes. 3 Cold War Bunker, St Helier A German World War II bunker adapted for use during the Cold War as Jersey’s Civil Emergency Centre and Nuclear Monitoring Station. The building includes a large operations room and BBC studio. 4 Statue of King George V in Howard Davis Park Bronze statue of King George V wearing the robes of the Sovereign of the Garter. Watchtower, La Coupe Point, St Martin 5 On the highest point of the headland is a small watchtower built in the early 19th century and used by the Royal Navy as a lookout post during the Napoleonic wars. It is sturdily constructed of mixed stone rubble with a circular plan and domed top in brick.

  • The Dunes at Wimereux, Normandy Oil on Board
    Edmund Blampied (1886 - 1966) The Dunes at Wimereux, Normandy Oil on board. Signed and dated Blampied 1934. and inscribed Wimereux at the lower centre. 204 x 291 mm. (8 x 11 1/2 in.) This appealing picture may be included among a series of a landscapes painted on small wooden panels by Blampied, several of which - including views of Wimereux, Knokke in Belgium, Zefeld in Austria, St. Brelade in Jersey and elsewhere – were included in the Cleveland exhibition in 1941. Blampied visited the small port of Wimereux (or Vimereaux), near Boulogne in the Pas-de-Calais, several times in the 1930’s, often staying with his friend, the writer and journalist Cecil Hunt. The present work belonged to Sir Bruce Ingram (1877-1963), one-time editor of the Illustrated London News (to which Blampied contributed) and one of the most enthusiastic collectors of the artist’s work. In 1967 a selection of fifty-one drawings and watercolours by Blampied from Ingram’s collection was exhibited at the St. Helier Galleries in Jersey. Provenance: The Ruskin Gallery, Stratford-on-Avon Sir Bruce Ingram, O.B.E., M.C., Chesham Michael Ingram, Driffield Manor, Driffield, Gloucestershire. Artist description: Born at Ville Brée in the parish of St. Martin on the island of Jersey, Edmund Blampied began his formal artistic training in 1903, when he was admitted as a student at the Lambeth School of Art in London. He eventually obtained a scholarship to continue his studies, while at the same time working for a number of London newspapers as an illustrator. By December 1911 Blampied had begun working independently as an illustrator for magazines and books.

Their work is still largely pioneering, as they investigate approaches and modes of presentation. But the consequences are already richly rewarding. To encourage this enterprise, three of the world's greatest repositories of the material heritage of science and technology: the Deutsches Museum, the Science Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, are collaborating on this book series.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.
