By Roy le Herissier The Jersey College for Girls (JCG) has submitted a planning application covering Fields S800 and S801 which abut onto Claremont Road, New Zealand Avenue and Ivystill Lane. They wish to change the use of the fields from agriculture to playing field use. JCG argue that the current site has 320 square metres of green space whereas UK guidelines call for 3214 square metres. When the green space needs of both JCG and its Prep School are combined, the deficit rises, according to the JCG submission, to 32,910 square metres.

Blooming good… By Roy Le Herissier Judging is over and the results of this year’s Britain in Bloom are in... The Parish of St Saviour WON GOLD for the display at the Parish Hall and Silver Gilt for the Parish as a whole. Well done to Nance Hicklin and her team for their dedication and hard work and to the Parish Works Department for its support and hard work.
The competition's remit covers much more than floral displays. Emphasis is also placed upon community, the environment and heritage. While the judges saw favourites like Howard Davis Park, the Parish Hall, the Hidrios’ Garden and La Hougue Bie as they journeyed from Five Oaks, they also had the pleasure of meeting the Constable's heifer, and of hearing noted local historian, Sue Hardy, talk about everything of interest on the Five Oaks - La Hougue Bie Route.
In addition, they visited the newly refurbished Parish Above: Church and toured Langtry Gardens. Bee Keeping also Clairval Bunny Lass featured and tea was taken to a rendition of Busy Bee. belonging to Sadie Aside of the perennial attractions, it seems the friendliness of the Parish, the refurbished Church, the tea, the heifer and the Bee theme all impressed the judges. So it’s a huge ‘Thank You’ to all who contributed to the gaining of the Awards, not forgetting the junior schools who took part in the Painting Competition (see page 35).

p12 Autumn 2018 St Saviour Parish Magazine Autumn 2018 St Saviour Parish Magazine p21 Parish Personality Frank Ashworth an(extra) ordinary life By Roy Le Herissier Frank Ashworth is a resident of Maufant Village. He has lived there for 36 years and is happily married to Maure en. Sadly, Frank's first wife passed away, he then came to Jersey and met Maureen through a relation. Together they were to manage the L'Etacquerel Guest House at L'Etacq.
Frank saw seven years’ service in the Army largely in the Tank Regiment. Those years, spanning World War Two, were to be defining years for Frank. Born in Royton, Lancashire, he started working life as a panel beater. At the age of 17 he volunteered for the Army. This is Frank's Army story. It is one of living constantly with danger, of seeing life and death in a way that is almost incomprehensible to our post war generation. It is a story of an “ordinary” person facing extraordinary situations and challenges. Frank was on a Scouts Trip when he volunteered at 17. The training regime set the pattern for his service. He was given a ground sheet, a lead coated plate and basin and slept on the floor of a derelict mill. All showering and washing was done outside, ra in and shine, winter and summer. The toughening up and transition from civilian life continued with rituals like boxing matches where trainees had to line up against each other. He slept next to Norman Bentley whose sister, then unbeknown to himself, he was to marry. Frank was then posted to 41st Battalion, but in order to go overseas (he was too young for the 41st) he transferred to the 51st Battalion Royal Tank Regiment. Coming from a Northern school where one football was shared between the football and netball teams, the training stint was his first time living in the South of England and he was struck by its relative affluence. The austerity conditions persisted as his new Commanding StSaviour-cover idea -2 Q3-2018.qxp_Governance style ideas 24/08/2018 14:52 Page 21

Right: It is a considerable loss to the Parish and the Island that the Amy properties at Patier were all demolished in the 1970s
PatierBy Stuart and Anita Fell Patier Road leads from the southern side of the Parish Hall up to Bagatelle Road. Jersey land is divided into Fiefs which date from medieval times. Such boundaries still have legal significance today and do not Right and right below: conform to Parish or Vingtaine boundaries. In 1823 the ancient family home was superceded by a Jersey people were not serfs but received prestigious new house built a little to the west today tenure of land, legal rights and other benefits in return for payment or duties for the owner of the land, usually a knight or the king. Patier was notable as a separate but very small fief in its own right.
For several centuries there was little development along the track now known as Patier Road apart from an ancient house and farm buildings dating back at least to the 17th century and possibly earlier – this cluster of buildings was known as Patier. The properties on the site were owned by the Amy family from this time until the 1970s. In fact the Godfray map of 1849 shows that their properties, Patier House, Patier Lodge and Patier Farm, were the only buildings on Patier Road. Even as late as 1951, there were no properties on the north side of Patier Road between the Parish Hall and Patier Lodge, which stands directly on the road edge. The Amy family was remarkable in that they rarely threw anything away - an extensive collection of their family paperss i preserved at the Jersey Archive. These papers include ancient deeds on vellum, personal letters, wills, receipts and accounts etc - some on tiny scraps of fragile paper and in minute handwriting. These documents refer not only to the Patier branch of the family but to the whole extended clan, who had property interests in most parishes, especially Grouville and St Martin, but also in St Helier. It is notable that for several decades letters dispatched from outside Jersey could reach the correct individual by simply being addressed, for example, to Mr Amy, near the church, St Saviour. Sometimes personal references to the Amys turn up in the contemporary local newspapers, which helps to bring their family history to life. One example is a notice placed in the Gazette of June 1796 where Ph. Amy in St. Saviour has lost a small black dog and is offering a reward for information. On a sadder note, in the Gazette of 6th December 1828, there is an item under the heading ACDIDENT [a typesetting error] reporting that Francois Phil. Amy, about 3 years old, had fallen into a spring near his parents’ house and had drowned. The Coroners Court returned a verdict of StSaviour-cover idea -2 Q3-2018.qxp_Governance style ideas 24/08/2018 14:52 Page 23
Autumn 2018 St Saviour Parish Magazine p23
accidental death. Also in 1828 Mrs. Ph. Amy, St Saviour, is listed as donating 10/- to the Jersey Benevolent and Strangers’ Friend Society for the Relief of the Sick and Distressed. This list, which appeared as a full page feature in the Jersey Loyalist newspaper, casts an interesting light on the philanthropy of prominent local residents. The list includes amounts raised from collecting boxes in shops, clubs and chapels, cash raised by a charitable bazaar –and even the rather touching mention of a donation “from a child 2 shillings and 2 pence”. Three centuries ago the land around Patier was wooded and fertile. There are numerous accounts in late 18th century newspapers of the sale of timber of all kinds, whether as living trees of chestnut and oak, or bundles of kindling. Timber was in great demand for ship building as well as house construction. The area also was planted with orchards of apple trees for cider production. In fact St Saviour was notable for having more orchards than any of the other parishes in Jersey. In the introduction to the 1871 census this part of St Saviour is still described in glowing terms as “a beautiful area appealing to invalids coming from England for the benefit of their health attracted by the mild climate and the pure country air”. It was noted that the meadows and arable land were very fertile and there was no wasteland or marshy ground. The district was one of the richest in Jersey for its agricultural and horticultural produce. The original Patier House seems to have dated back to at least 1663, as there was a stone built in to the façade bearing this date. Another stone in the left hand gable was dated 1680 with the initials PA & EC, the PA representing one of the many Phillippe Amys. There was a seventeenth century arch over the front door, facing into an enclosed courtyard. Originally the roof would have been thatched, like most houses of this period. It is recorded that during the September excursion of the Societe Jersiaise made in 1931, members were received by the Misses Amy who ‘admitted us to the enclosed courtyard of the old farmhouse, one of the few remaining perfect specimens of earl y 17th century courts’. In 1823 the ancient family home was superceded by a prestigious new house built a little to the west, standing in elevated and more spacious surroundings. This was built for Philippe Amy and his wife Marguerite, née Moreau. The couple were still living there at the time of the first census in 1841, by which time Philippe was 70 years old. The fact that they had 3 servants indicate s their social status. Over time it appears that the Amys withdrew from any direct involvement in farming and the old house and buildings were let out to tenants. In the 1841 census Amy’s neighbours included Frederick Mallet and John Larbalestier, both of whom were farmers. While Patier Farm is not mentioned by name, the subsequent census of 1851 describes Patier Farm as being inhabited by Thomas Mallet, age 42, born in France and farming 10 acres. Next to him was Granville Farm, inhabited by Larbalestier. The Mallet family continued to farm at Patier as they appear in subsequent census returns, though the property later became known as Woodburn Farm. In 1851 Elizabeth Baudains, a 69 year-old housekeeper lived at Patier Farm. Her extended household including Peter Le Conte, another farmer, and George King, who was described as a boarder. All these people were still living at Patier Farm in 1861, by which time George King had become a ‘soap boiler of tallow chandlers’. He was presumably working with a close neighbour, Philip Burch, who was also described as a tallow chandler, originating in Romsey, in Hampshire.

The youth centre has had a very busy few months with a residential at Crabbe, two Community Open Days, trips to the beach and of course there was no escaping the World Cup. The club would like to thank members of the community for their support. At the clubs AGM, in June, 19 young people were presented with Bronze, silver and Gold, Youth Achievement Awards. The Connétable, Sadie Rennard, very kindly agreed to present the awards. This term we have welcomed Laurent Ybert, as the new Assistant Youth Worker, after Clare Hepburn was given responsibility for the running of St Ouen’s Youth Club, where she will complete the final year of her degree. In contrast, Laurent will commence his youth work degree, this September. Good luck! The centre’s climbing wall has seen a large increase in use.

p38 Autumn 2018 St Saviour Parish Magazinev ParishChurch News Recently, I enjoyed a walk and talk with the Archaeological and History sections of the Societe Jersiaise, through the lanes to Ponterrin. Church walks with Cara Billot-Miller We met at La Hougue Bie on a warm summer’s evening for a walk along Rue des Pigneaux and across to Fosse a l’Ecrivain, where we stopped and admired the valley looking North towards Ponterrin. Robert Waterhouse explained the interesting development of the valley and described how it was designed in 1600s when Philippe Falle built Ponterrin Two weeks later, another walk and talk had been arranged in St Saviour’s Church, and landscaped the area as a large garden estate. churchyard and cemetery. This was a particularly interesting and educational experience after the recent refurbishment of the church. I was fascinated by Robert Waterhouse’s ability to pick out a certain stone and tell us where it came from, and in some instances what had been the previous use of that stone. Once the exterior and interior of the Church had been dissected by Mr Waterhouse, our own Reverend Peter Dyson took over to tell the stories of certain persons who died and were buried in the churchyard. Again, a fascinating narrative and explanation of the particular gravestones which were standing, or leaning, or even lying down, due to the shift and movement in the ground. Often the gravestone was top heavy and the ground could not support it. Sea Sunday Sea Sunday took place on 8th July 2018 on a sunny but cool day, with a fair breeze blowing. The church was suitably decorated in red, white and blue, and even signal flags draped around the pulpit. Various nautical artefacts also decorated the church, and the service was well attended by parents of the Sea Cadets and Officers and staff. After the service, there was a march past with the salute taken by Mr Billy Reynolds, who is well known as a D-DAY veteran and for his book, Driving Dangerously. The Sea Cadets were led by their Commanding Officer, Lieutenant (SCC) Andre Bonjour, MBE, and the colour carried by Lieutenant (SCC) Ron Perchard. Everyone was invited to attend the reception afterwards inside the church where drinks and biscuits were on offer from the new Servery.
