However, because of the Lessay Fair there are good timings in September and we are hoping to have the visit on 7 September.

  • The History of the Castle QUEEN ELIZABETH I in 1550, It Was Decided That a Castle Should Be Built
    The history of the Castle QUEEN ELIZABETH I In 1550, it was decided that a castle should be built. Sir Walter Raleigh named the castle after Queen Elizabeth I in 1600. In 1642, the English Civil war broke out. Prince Charles came to Jersey to stay safe. He stayed at Elizabeth Castle for 10 weeks in 1645 and came back in 1649. Prince Charles became King Charles II in 1650. To say thank you to Jersey for helping him, King Charles II gave land in America to the island. This land was then called KING CHARLES II New Jersey. In 1781, the Battle of Jersey took place in the Royal Square in St Helier. Some soldiers were stranded at the castle because of the tide. In 1848, Elizabeth Castle was at its strongest and had 64 cannon. The army sold it to the States of Jersey for £1500, in 1923. In 1940, German forces added bunkers, searchlights and gun emplacements to Elizabeth Castle. About 100 German soldiers stayed in Elizabeth Castle until Liberation Day in 1945. Now, Elizabeth Castle is looked after by Jersey Heritage. Supported by as part of Love your jerseyheritage.org Association of Jersey Charities, No. 161 Castle campaign Life in the Castle Soldiers worked in the army and would protect Elizabeth Castle if it was attacked. Eight soldiers would be in the same room. They also had to share beds. After the army deducted money for food and living, soldiers didn’t earn much money. For breakfast, soldiers ate a salty, watery porridge called gruel. The main meal was usually bread, potatoes, and a bit of meat.

  • Jersey Location Geography Climate
    Jersey Location The Bailiwick of Jersey is located in Europe and has a total area of 45 square miles. Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, which are located in the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy, France, and include Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm, and Jethou. Jersey is 9 miles long and 5 miles wide. The island is 14 miles north of France and 100 miles south of Great Britain. It is bordered on the north by the English Channel and on the south by the Bay of Mont St Michel. Its political boundaries also include the reefs of Minquiers and the Ecrehous. (Jones) Geography The geography of the island is mainly gentle and rolling, with rougher hills along the northern coast with the English Channel. The highest point is 143 meters, while sea level is the island’s lowest point. The island’s location in between the Bay of Mont St Michel and the English Channel gives the island tidal ranges of over 40 feet, among the largest range in the world. Most of the island is a plateau which sweeps towards sea level as one travels south. The west end of the island features St Ouen’s Pond, which is Jersey’s largest fresh water source. The interior of the island is home to pastoral grazing lands and home to most of Jersey’s agriculture. Climate Jersey’s climate is quite temperate, due to its location in the English Channel. The island is the sunniest place in the British Isles with an average of over 1,951 hours per year.

(Google images) Dedicated to Dennis’s grandmother and his grandfather, who looked after him on Jersey during the Occupation. Foreword I met Dennis when I moved to Edmonton Gardens in Cairns in 2019. I found him a very quiet man who did not waste words and after many silent meals we finally started up a conversation. I found him very interesting to talk to and soon we were discussing many different subjects. As he got used to me I asked him what part of England he came from. Very indigantly he replied that he was born in Jersey, not England. He then started to talk about his early life there during the German occupation from 1940 to 1945.

A copy of the Life In The UK book (ISBN 9780113413409) may be obtained from bookstores, online retailers or The Stationary Office http://www.tsoshop.co.uk/bookstore.asp 1 PART 1 THE ISLAND OF JERSEY – A BRIEF HISTORY The earliest evidence of human activity in the Island comes from about a quarter of a million years ago, when bands of Palaeolithic (old Stone Age) hunters moved through the area, following herds of mammoth. There are two cave sites, at La Cotte de St Brelade and La Cotte à le Chèvre, which tell us the story of these early days. However, people only really settled at about the time Jersey became an island – about 7,000 years ago, when the water from the melting Arctic ice caps eventually flooded over the low-lying plains between what is now Jersey and France. This was the beginning of the Neolithic period, or new Stone Age, and it was then that the first farmers began to settle. The most obvious evidence from this time are their religious sites – the tombs known as dolmens – that can be seen around the Island, the biggest and most spectacular being at La Hougue Bie. At this time Jersey’s main links were with the people who lived around the St Malo region of France, and by the time the Romans moved into the region, just over 2,000 years ago, the Island population was probably part of the Coriosolites tribe.
