48 St Saviour Q3 2020.Pdf Autumn2020 Esprit de St Sauveur Edition 48 farewellA fond Rectorto our wonderful Page 30 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Autumn 2020 St Saviour Parish Magazine p3 From the Editor Featured Back on Track! articles La Cloche is back on track and we have a full magazine. There are some poems by local From the Constable poets to celebrate Liberation and some stories from St Saviour residents who were in Jersey when the Liberation forces arrived on that memorable day, 9th May 1945. It is always enlightening to read and hear of others’ stories from the Occupation and Liberation p4 of Jersey during the 1940s. Life was so very different then, from now, and it is difficult for us to imagine what life was really like for the children and adults living at that time. Giles Bois has submitted a most interesting article when St Saviour had to build a guardhouse on the south coast. The Parish was asked to help Grouville with patrolling Liberation Stories the coast looking for marauders and in 1690 both parishes were ordered to build a guardhouse at La Rocque. This article is a very good read and the historians among you will want to rush off to look for our Guardhouse! Photographs accompany the article to p11 illustrate the building in the early years and then later development. St Saviour Battle of Flowers Association is managing to keep itself alive with a picnic in St Paul’s Football Club playing field. They are also making their own paper flowers in different styles and designs; so please get in touch with the Association Secretary to help with Forever St Saviour making flowers for next year’s Battle. The Community Support Group continues its good work with assisting our disabled and elderly parishioners by getting the shopping and delivering medical supplies. Although p14 the pandemic has made a huge impact on all our lives, there are many supporting developments, small and large, which will continue to work and maintain various services. In the meantime, I am sure everyone living in St Saviour will be aware of the impending departure of our hard working and highly respected Rector, Peter Dyson. La Cloche has Battle of Flowers benefitted greatly from his input and encouragement and we are truly grateful for his work investigating the history of our Church and the illustrious people who are buried in St Saviour’s cemetery and churchyard. The greatest number of veterans from the p18 Peninsular Wars and Battle of Waterloo, are buried in St Saviour, more than anywhere else in Europe. The new plaque erected inside our Church is magnificent. Reverend Dyson has left a wonderful legacy for us all to enjoy forever. Anyone who is keen to write or take photographs of Parish events, can certainly do so, and A Treasure Trove send in their contributions to the Parish office, or direct to me by email at [email protected]. If you know of any event that should be covered and promoted in La Cloche, please let me know. p20 Cara Billot Miller Farewells to Rev Dyson p30 Rambling Rector p36 Autumn 2020 St Saviour Parish Magazine p4 From your Parish representatives FROM THE CONNÉTABLE Well it’s been another rough few months. Although we seem to be going about our daily lives it still feels like everything is on hold. I have very little to report. The Parish Hall is still giving a wonderful service and I thank the office staff for all their support. The Honorary Police have also been very busy and our new officers have been out and about with established officers learning on the job, so to speak. As for the Parish depot these guys never cease to amaze me. So, thanks to all Parish employees. We learnt in this lock down period that Rev. Peter Dyson is leaving us. This came as a big shock. I didn’t realise that with the Church of England 70 is old and you retire. He is going to be so missed. He has done wonders for the Parish Church. The Parish Assembly went well, and Mandy, our caretaker, made sure that those who came were the right distance apart. We did not put the Rates up as people have to be careful with their money. Should you need help please call the Parish Hall as soon as you think help may be needed. Do not leave it until the very last minute then say you can’t pay your rates. Everyone needs to pay, sorry. I am afraid I feel we are going to have to live with this virus. Life must go on. I am 75 and like everyone who works for the Parish of St. Saviour I have worked right through. I was passed my sell by date so I didn’t mind coming in. I can’t ask my staff to come in and then stay at home safe. I understand that some people don’t wish to mix with 10 Year Old Jacob Samwell the outside world but life must go on. Grainville School had very good results with their “exams”. The school of which I am honoured to be a School Governor, has a right to be proud of its students. We had a guided tour around the new build, it is going to be great when it is complete and it all seems to be on schedule. Speaking of Grainville, Ruth Smith was a lovely teacher at Grainville and sometimes she would bring pupils to the farm so they could see how farming happened. Well this lovely lady now helps a school in Africa. I rent a field from someone who doesn’t want the rent so I send it to Ruth to put to good use. This year here at the Parish Hall I decided to sponsor a pupil on the Parish’s behalf . The young gentleman is Jacob Samwell and he is 10 years old. It is the Malindi Bright Future Academy. I will keep you posted as to this young man’s progress. Well St. Saviour was short listed for the hospital. I was told this before it went public. Wow when it did it looked like most of Five Oaks was earmarked for the hospital. I got in touch and had a meeting with Les Amis they had been removed. Thank goodness. The new owners of the JEP site had put their plans on hold and some households I visited just reassured them. I still think Warwick Farm is ideal. It is empty, the States own it!! Still we shall have to see. Well sweethearts that is it for now. Oh, I forgot, I am not on the Real Housewives of Jersey….ha ha ha far too busy!! Take care and remember we are here for you.

  • 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.

  • Review of Birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long
    Review of birds in the Channel Islands, 1951-80 Roger Long ecords and observations on the flora and fauna in the Channel Islands Rare treated with confusing arbitrariness by British naturalists in the various branches of natural history. Botanists include the islands as part of the British Isles, mammalogists do not, and several subdivisions of entomo• logists adopt differing treatments. The BOU lists and records have always excluded the Channel Islands, but The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland (1976) included them, as do all the other distribution mapping schemes currently being prepared by the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood Experimental Station, Huntingdon. The most notable occurrences of rarities have been published in British Birds, and this review has been compiled so that the other, less spectacular—but possibly more significant—observations are available as a complement to the British and Irish records. The late Roderick Dobson, an English naturalist resident in Jersey between 1935 and 1948 and from 1958 to his death in 1979, was the author of the invaluable Birds of the Channel Islands (1952). In this, he brought together the results of his meticulous fieldwork in all the islands, and his critical interpretation of every record—published or private—that he was able to unearth, fortunately just before the turmoil of the years of German Occupation (1940-45) dispersed much of the material, perhaps for ever. I concern myself here chiefly with the changes recorded during the approxi• mately 30 years since Dobson's record closed. Species considered to have shown little change in status over those years are not listed.

By any standards this was mass migration comparable with the mass migration into Jersey in the 1830s and 1840s. Why and how did this happen, what sort of people were the emigrants and where did they settle in New Zealand? This paper seeks to explore these issues in respect of the emigration to New Zealand, although much of the analysis would be equally applicable to the emigration to Australia. The paper could be written only because of the excellent work by Keith Vautier in compiling a comprehensive database of 900 Channel Islanders who migrated to Australia and New Zealand.

  • 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.
