The Royal SquareThis square was named the Royal Square, in honour of King George II, following the unveiling of the statue in 1751. Before that it was simply called Le Marchi; the market place. It remained the market place until 1804, when the noise and dirt that emanated from it proved to be too much for the Court Officials, who were also there on Saturdays: market day. A new market was proposed on the corner of what is now called Beresford Street and Halkett Place, on land that was purchased by the States in 1796.

For many people, the most important event that took place here in the square was a 15-minute skirmish that became known as the Battle of Jersey. This was the last occasion that the French attempted to wrestle Jersey from the clutches of Great Britain, and they nearly managed it! The Governor, Moyse Corbett, had been coercised into signing the capitulation and had it not been for the young, untried, Major Francis Peirson, together with two companies of Scottish and English

troops, and 3,000 men of the Jersey Militia, The Baron de Rullecourt and his 600 men might have bluffed their way into the history books.

One could spend a whole morning in the Royal Square, but here are just a few of the interesting things that are around the area. The plaque that is on the corner of Gallichan the Jeweller, the oldest established jeweller in the town, is a fire mark. Before St Helier had a municipal fire brigade, each insurance company had their own fire fighters. On the fire mark is the symbol of the insurance company and the building’s policy number. If you hadn’t paid your premium, they didn’t put the fire out.

On the wall of the Picket House is a sun dial made by Elie Le Gros. It runs about four minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Le Gros was a talented man; he was a schoolmaster, a watchmaker, a cartographer and an engineer. The horse chestnut trees around the square were planted in 1894.

The Town trail starts at The Cock and Bottle (1A) in the Royal Square. Leave the pub and walk out into the Royal Square, go straight ahead then bear right to walk up Library Place.

Walk on along Broad Street, through Charing Cross into York Street. Pass the Town Hall then bear right into Old Street and then immediately right into York Lane. Turn right at the end, and The Post Horn (1B) is just on the right.

The Town HallThis building was designed by Le Sueur and Bree, and it opened on January 3rd 1872. At that time the building comprised a room for the Constable, a room for the collector of the Paid Police rate (St Helier had a paid police force since 1854), one room for the Paid Police, two lock-up rooms and six cells.

When the St Helier Fire Brigade was formed in 1901, the engine was kept at the Town Hall, and the horses that pulled it were stabled in Devonshire Place. In fact, if one looks at the window on the right of the entrance, it is possible to see that it was originally a large doorway. It was behind this doorway that the fire engine was kept.

Leave The Post Horn, turn right and walk to the end of Hue Street. Cross the road, turn left and take the first right into Pitt Street, then left into King Street. Continue along King Street until we reach the junction, then turn left and walk up New Street. Carry on along New Street, and using the crossing, cross over to the right hand-side of the road. The Town House is just a few yards beyond the junction with Union Street and Burrard Street.

To return to The Cock and Bottle, leave the Town House, turn left and then left again into Burrard Street. Carry on until we reach the second junction, here turn right into Halkett Place.

The Central MarketAs mentioned earlier, the market in the Royal Square had become untenable due to the noise and smell, and a new site was bought by the States in 1796 from a Mr. Le Maistre. The original market on this site was modelled closely on the market in Bath, and funded with the proceeds of seven lotteries. When it opened in 1803, three sides of the market were roofed over, underneath were stalls selling eggs, butter, flowers and vegetables. In the middle stood butchers’ stalls which also had a roof over them. Close by was a fish market and a cattle market.

After almost 80 years the market had become too small. It was knocked down in 1881, and a new covered market was built which opened in September 1882. It was designed by Mr. T. W. Helliwell, of Helliwell and Bellamy, of Brighouse in Yorkshire who had won the contract in an architectural competition. This new market was double the size; it had granite walls, cast iron railings and 37 cast iron columns that held up the roof. There was a 15-foot high, three-tiered fountain as its centrepiece. This was cast at the Glasgow Sun Works foundry of George Smith, and installed by Abraham Viel a local builder.

The market gates in Market Street and Hilgrove Street are the original gates from the 1803 market. They were designed by the States’ Architect, Philippe Le Sueur and cast in Jersey by George Le Feuvre.

Walk the length of Halkett Place, passing The Central Market on our left, then take the second right into King Street and finally the first left to return back into the Royal Square and The Cock and Bottle.

Leave The St Mary’s Country Inn and turn right, then right again to pass the pub car park. At the crossroads walk straight on into La Route de L’Eglise. As the lane turns right, notice the cross sitting on the column ahead; this is almost certainly the remnants of a wayside cross taken down during the Reformation. After the bend, we find ourselves in La Rue de la Grange. Continue on and at the junction turn right. In a short distance we reach Le Marais, a private house where the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, preached when he visited Jersey in 1787.

Le MaraisMethodism was brought to the Island by two young Jerseymen; Jean Tentin and Pierre Le Sueur. Like many young men of that time, they had gone to fish for cod off Newfoundland and the Grand Banks of Nova Scotia, and while there, they had been converted to Methodism by English missionary Laurence Coughlan.

In 1787, John Wesley himself came to Jersey. He arrived on Monday, August 20th, and went to the home of Robert Carr Brackenbury, a Lincolnshire man, who had been sent to Jersey to preach, because he spoke both English and French.

On the following Thursday, Wesley rode out to preach at Le Marais in St Mary, the home of Mrs. Le Couteur. As no one there spoke English, he was assisted by Robert Carr Brackenbury and Mrs. Marie Arthur, who lived across the road at Les Puits.

Return back to the junction with La Rue de la Grange, and walk past it towards the bend ahead. At the end of La Rue des Marais, don’t turn left, but go straight ahead into La Hougue Mauger. At the T junction, turn left into La Rue des Touettes and descend the slope. Over to the right, we can see some of the other Channel Islands in the distance, and closer to shore the reef known as the Paternosters.

The PaternostersIn 1565, Queen Elizabeth I had granted the Seigneur of St Ouen, Helier de Carteret, the right to colonise Sark. Until then Sark had been uninhabited and, because of this, it had often been used as a base for pirates. De Carteret chose 35 Jersey families and five Guernsey families to become the first settlers.

The boats carrying the young families left Grève de Lecq bound for Sark, visible a few miles away in the distance. On the way there, one of the boats struck Les Pierres des Lecq reef and many drowned, among them several small children. Legend has it that their frightened cries can still be heard whenever a storm approaches. This tale so affected the local fishermen that they always said The Lord’s Prayer or an Our Father when they sailed past these rocks. In Latin, ‘Our Father’ is ‘Pater Noster’, and this is how the reef got its name.

Take the first right onto a farm track and head towards the sea. Continue on, avoiding any tracks that go off to the right. After some distance, beside an abandoned metal post, turn left onto a narrow path that descends. Follow this bridle path, which soon begins to run parallel with the cliff path below. When the two paths converge, move onto the cliff path. After 300 yards or so, look over to the right, where a sloping section of cliff side has become detached. This tiny area is Île Agois.

Île Agois.This 76-metre high tidal stack that was once joined to the land, appears to have been inhabited possibly since the Iron Age. Coins and other artefacts found here suggest that the stack was inhabited during the 9th century. Excavations that took place during the 1970s revealed traces of around 20 earth huts, and two rectangular stone buildings, one of which is thought to be an oratory. Furthermore, the shape and lay out of these buildings are similar to other eremitic sites around the coast of Brittany and the British Isles, which gives credence to the idea that in the 9th century this site was probably a small community of Eremitic monks.

When the cliff path ends, walk inland between the granite gate posts, then follow a wide farm track. Where it joins another track at right angles, turn right and carry on, passing Crabbé Farm, until we reach the yellow line. Here turn left.

Walk on and take the first turning on the right. This lane drops gently between houses and we emerge at the end of La Rue du Rondin. Continue uphill, to turn left into La Charrière. After a few yards, bear right into Le Hurel. Climb this slight hill. At the end of this lane turn right. We pass the new Community Centre and the Parish Hall. Where the lane meets the main road, turn left and walk past St Mary’s Primary School. Cross to the other side of the road where there is a narrow verge. At the crossroads, turn right, The St Mary’s Country Inn is ahead on the left.

Leave The Trinity Arms by the rear door, closest to the children’s play ground. Walk past the playground and descend the steps. On reaching the road turn left, then continue along the left hand-side of this busy road. Take the first left into La Rue du Mont Pellier. Across the meadow on our right, we see the double-arched entrance to Howard Davis Farm.

Walk 3 The Trinity ArmsMileage: 4 Miles Time: 1 hour 45 Minutes Difficulty: Hard/Medium Wear stout shoes – Might be slippery

Full details of The Trinity Arms are shown on pages 20-21

Howard Davis FarmThis experimental farm was one of many gifts given to the Island by Jerseyman T. B. Davis. Davis went to sea as a boy; settled in South Africa and made his fortune in stevedoring and lighterage. He eventually controlled all the port facilities between Port Elizabeth and Dar-es-Salaam, and became well-known in both South Africa and Jersey for his generosity. T. B. Davis gave the farm, originally called Parkfield, to the Island in 1928. Like many of his other gifts, it is named after his youngest son, Howard, who fell on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

Carry on down this gentle incline, passing Rue du Travers on the left. Bear left when a lane comes in from the right. A little further on, we see another double-arched entrance at Mont Pellier.At the end of the lane, turn sharp left and climb Ruelle ès Biches. This ancient footpath is often thought to be the entrance to the vast earthwork known as Le Chastel Sedement, a castle of refuge that was said to offer security to several thousand people in times of attack. When the track emerges on tarmac again, go to the yellow line on the left, and turn right. Walk on for a few yards then turn left onto a muddy track: La Rue du Pouillier - the Trinity Millennium Walk.

8

Le Chastel SedementThis was an earthwork of around ten acres, guarded by a high embankment and a moat, with a keep at its centre. It is thought that this was one of five castles of refuge in the Island. The others were Mont Orgueil, Grosnez Castle, Le Câtel above Rozel and Le Câtel at Grève de Lecq. These sites would offer safety to islanders, together with their animals and other possessions, during raids on the Island.Le Chastel Sedement is mentioned in an account of a raid by Castilian corsair Pero Nino and Breton knight Hector de Pontbriand. Having successfully defeated a force of 3,000 Jerseymen on the sands at West Park, Nino and his cohorts advanced on Le Chastel Sedement. He saw that an attack on the earthwork could prove costly, but before returning home, he managed to extract a ransom of 10,000 gold crowns, the release of all French prisoners, and he took four rich Jerseymen as hostages.

When we pass Rue du Câtel on the left, turn around, and you should be able to see the sea in St Aubin’s Bay. A little further on we can see France over to the right. At the end of Rue de la Falaise using care, cross straight over. Cross straight over the next junction. When the road bends left, walk down the track ahead, to pass the splendid granite ‘No Dumping’ sign. At the end of the track, continue straight on down a muddy bridle path, towards the trees. Leave the bridle path and carry on through a gate to reach a small footbridge that crosses the stream on the right.

9

At the end of the Millennium Walk turn left. At the junction at the top of the slope, notice the mounting block and the holy water stoop in the wall of Les Catieaux. The stoop was no doubt taken from a local church during the Reformation, when reformers destroyed the opulence of the Catholic Church; breaking stained glass windows, beheading statues and turning the churches into much more austere places. Here turn right then immediately left. Some distance along this lane is a tall mound on the right hand-side of the lane; this is all that remains of the keep of Le Chastel Sedement earthwork.

Bouley BayThis deep-water anchorage has been used in the past for the disembarkation of troops; in July 1549, French soldiers, fresh from capturing Sark, landed here and fought a pitched battle with the Jersey Militia on Jardin D’Olivet.Consequently, we find the bay well defended. To the east, there is L’Etacquerel Fort, built in 1835 to replace a defence that was sited further up the cliff, and to the west, Fort Leicester. Fort Leicester began as a simple defensive position with one single cannon in 1549, and evolved into what we see today; a Napoleonic fortification with positions for five guns, supplemented by concrete gun emplacements that date from the Second World War.

10

At the bridge, bear left and ascend the cliff path. Stay on the cliff path as it goes into woodland, and continue upwards, following the signs to La Petite Falaise. The path climbs in a series of hairpins between the trees. When the path forks, turn right and keep on towards La Petite Falaise, finally arriving at Radio Corner on the hill that rises from the bay.

Once on tarmac again, descend the hill and at the next corner bear left up a path that rises through the National Trust for Jersey property: Le Grand Côtil du Boulay. At the top of the path is a well-head with a lavoir beside it. A lavoir is a place where women would go to do their washing, in the days when taps and washing machines were unheard of. Walk past the lavoir, across the stream, and up to the road ahead. Here turn left.

At the end of Rue des Fontaines turn right, then after a few yards, turn left into Rue du Presbytere. Cross over to the right hand-side of the road and walk through the graveyard to the far side of the church. On the other side of the church, descend the steps, turn left and return to The Trinity Arms.

The National Hillclimb at Bouley BayThe superbly cambered and surfaced road that runs up from the harbour provides the arena for a number of sporting events that take place during the year.

The best-known of these is the National Hillclimb Championship, a round of which is held here annually in July. Bouley Bay was one of the five original venues chosen for this championship when it started in 1947. Among the well-known sportsmen who have competed here are Sir Stirling Moss and Formula One driver, and local resident, Derek Warwick.

After remaining unchallenged for some time, the outright record was broken by Guernseyman Andy Priaulx in 1995. Andy Priaulx went on to become the FIA World Touring Car Champion in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The current outright record stands at a remarkable 38.25 seconds for the 1011 yard hillclimb, set by Trevor Willis in 2007.

Leave The Victoria in the Valley, turn left, then bear left up La Route De L’Aleval. Walk along the verge and then take the first left into La Rue du Panigot. Climb the hill as it rises through woodland. Once past the houses, the lane levels out, at the far right hand bend take a moment to look back; in the gap ahead, we can see the sea and just make out Elizabeth Castle. After a hundred yards or so, turn left into La Ruette de Coin Varin. At the corner we can see a bunker in the field on the right, notice the chimney stack and the chimney pots built into the bunker in an attempt to disguise it.

Infantry Command BunkerThis bunker is one of three command bunkers and two communication bunkers that are in the immediate vicinity. What we can see here is only the top half of the bunker the rest of it is below ground. The bunker in front of us is the command bunker of the 582 Infantry Regiment. About half a mile further north, is the Artillery Commander’s bunker which is now incorporated into a house, whilst the Fortress Commander’s bunker is only a few yards away in what is now the ‘Living Legend’. These three buildings were the heart of the German defensive system that was linked by radio and field telephone to all the key defensive positions around the Island.

Walk 4 The Victoria in the ValleyMileage: 4 Miles Time: 1 hour 30 Minutes Difficulty: Hard/Medium Wear stout shoes – Might be slippery

Full details of The Victoria in the Valley are shown on pages 20-21

At the bottom, cross the road, turn right, and walk for a short distance beside the wall. Go through the gap in the wall, and carry on along the path that runs parallel to the road above.

When we get to the gravel car park, follow the path that enters on the far right, to go towards Quétivel Mill. At the mill, using care, cross the road, go down the hill and walk through the car park of Midvale Apartments on the right. We are able to regain the path at the far end of the car park. The path emerges onto the road at Tesson Mill.

Tesson Mill There has been a mill on this site, the lowest mill in the valley, since Norman times. The building that we see at present is thought to be the work of Phillippe Pellier and Phillippe Godfrey, who owned the mill in the early part of the 19th century.

In 1893, the mill was sold to Samuel Gilley. Samuel Gilley was forced to rebuild most of it, following a disastrous fire in the early 20th century. In 1934, the Jersey New Waterworks Company bought Tesson Mill and various other mills in St Peter’s Valley to secure ownership of the waterways.

Because of the lack of fuel during the German Occupation, the mill was returned to water power and, like Quétivel Mill higher up the valley, it became essential in feeding the Island’s wartime population.

Green LanesWhen the idea of an Island-wide network of speed-restricted roads was first suggested to the Comité des Connétables by St Peter Constable Mac Pollard, it was flatly rejected. Mr. Pollard had felt that it would be pleasant if several quiet scenic lanes would be speed restricted, thereby allowing cyclists, walkers and horse riders to use them in relative safety, away from the threat of speeding motorists. The Comité des Connétables recommended that Mr. Pollard take the scheme to the States as a Private Member’s Bill. He did this, and despite reservations in some quarters, the scheme was accepted, and a law was passed allowing certain roads to become speed-restricted.

The first Green Lanes were opened in St Peter, on St Peter’s Day, 29th June 1994. In other parishes the scheme was enthusiastically embraced, and within 18 months nearly every parish had some Green Lanes. Today Jersey boasts 45-miles of Green Lanes divided between ten parishes, only St Saviour and Trinity remain unconvinced of the benefits.

The Green Lane Scheme was so appreciated by visitors, that in 1996 the British Guild of Travel Writers awarded Jersey Tourism the Silver Unicorn for promoting sustainable tourism.

Turn right into La Rue Vazon, and follow the lane as it becomes a cart track. Where the track joins another track, turn left and continue along it as it descends into the valley. This is one of the Island’s most natural Green Lanes; an almost Island-wide network of scenic speed-restricted roads, which grew from an initiative that started here in St Peter in 1994.

Turn left to pass the mill then turn left again to go through the second gateway in the wall on the left. Walk on beside the road, until we draw level with the start of a footpath on the far side. Cross carefully and climb this path. At the top, follow the path as it turns to the left. Then follow the well-trodden path, avoiding any paths that enter on the left, and keep to the right at any junctions. In due course, the path begins to descend, eventually meeting the road at the bottom of Mont du Rocher. Climb Mont du Rocher.

The War TunnelsThe tunnels here at Meadow Bank were originally intended to be used as an artillery barracks, artificers’ workshops and a munitions dump.

The tunnel complex was planned to consist of four long tunnels, each about 100-yards long, connected by seven shorter tunnels running at right angles. By the end of the war, only two of the longer tunnels and six of the short ones were finished. During the construction, 14,000 tons of shale was excavated and 4,000 tons of concrete was poured in.

Work began in 1941 by 319 Infantry Division, but by 1942 the work had been handed over to the Organisation Todt. It was they who used prisoners of war; Russians, Algerians, Polish, Spanish Republicans and other nationalities, who had been force-marched across Europe, as their labour force.

In 1944, with an imminent invasion of France threatened, the tunnels were changed into a casualty clearing station for troops wounded in France.

Though it was never used, at the end of the war the hospital contained 600 beds, an operating theatre, a dispensary, storerooms and kitchens. It was air conditioned and centrally heated, and had all the amenities of a modern hospital.

At the top, turn left into Les Gelettes. The lane curves and begins to drop back into the valley. After a hairpin bend, walk down the steps of a footpath coming in on the right, and follow the path. On reaching the road turn left, and walk the short distance back to The Victoria.

Walk 5 The Rozel BayMileage: 4 Miles Time: 1 hour 30 Minutes Difficulty: Hard/Medium Wear stout shoes – Might be slippery

Full details of The Rozel Bay are shown on pages 20-21

Leave The Rozel Bay and turn left to walk up the valley, passing the pub car park, as we begin to climb the gentle slope. After a short distance, on the wall on our right, we see a plaque dedicated to horticulturist, Samuel Curtis.

Samuel CurtisIn 1801, Curtis purchased the first of his nurseries at Walworth, and he began to publish a series of horticultural lectures that had been given by his father-in-law; William Curtis. The nursery and the book were a success, and he looked for another garden to develop. This he found at Glazenwood, near Braintree in Essex.

During the 1830s, Curtis began looking for a suitable site on which to grow the subtropical species that were being grown under glass at Glazenwood and Kew. Over the next few years, Samuel Curtis searched the British Isles fruitlessly for a suitable site; that is until he arrived at Rozel in Jersey, in 1841. Here was a sunny, sheltered, almost frost-free valley, with a conglomerate soil and its own microclimate, ideal for the subtropical plants that he hoped to grow.Curtis didn’t move to La Chaire permanently until 1852. Over the following eight years, he continued to develop what became known as the Tropical Garden of La Chaire. In this garden, Samuel Curtis grew arguably the biggest range of subtropical plants ever found in a garden in the British Isles.

Samuel Curtis died on January 6 1860, and he is buried in the churchyard of St Martin’s Parish Church.

The valley still reveals much of Curtis’ work; as we go up we see numerous species of unusual plants bordering the lane. After a sharp bend, we leave the valley floor and begin a stiff climb that takes us up towards the mill. At the top of the hill, bear right at the junction, to ascend a little further. The building immediately behind the gates on the right is Rozel Mill.

At the end of Rue du Moulin, turn left. The post box, in the wall on the left, must have been installed during the last sixty years, as it carries the initials of the present monarch Elizabeth II. Walk on, and take the first right into La Rue du Blanc Pignon. This little-used lane has some fine granite properties along its length. After these traditional Jersey houses, a stand of bamboo at the foot of the hill comes as rather a surprise.

As we near the yellow line, we see that this Green Lane has now become Rue de la Pallotterie. Judging by the map, the stream that passes beneath us is the dividing line between the two lanes. Turn right onto the main road, and using care, proceed along it for about half a mile. Pass Marett’s Forge and take the first left into Rue Belin. The big building on the left is St Martin’s Methodist Church.

Leave the church and carry on down the lane. When the tarmac ends, follow the path on the left into the woods. At the bottom of the valley, don’t turn right, but go straight ahead up the walled path. When we emerge at the top, we can see Rosel Manor across the fields to our left.

Rosel ManorThis manor ranks second in importance only to St Ouen’s Manor, and it is one of the four that have the right to pay homage to the monarch when they visit the Island. When King John lost his lands in France, local knights were forced to decide who to follow. At Rosel Manor, the de Fourneaux family left Jersey to take sides with Philippe Augustus of France, their manor was escheated and, in 1247, it was granted to Drogo de Barentin, Warden of the Isles.

In 1367, the de Barentins were forced to quit the Island, but before doing so Philippe de Barentin sold most of his property to his two lawyers; Raoul Lemprière and Guillaume Payn. Raoul Lemprière acquired Rosel Manor and Dielament Manor.

The manor remained in Lemprière hands until 1467, when the unmarried male heir, Renaud Lemprière was killed at the siege of Mont Orgueil Castle. The manor passed through the female line to Catherine, who married Dominic Perrin. In 1625 the manor was sold to the de Carterets who owned it for over 100 years. In 1733, Charles Lemprière of Dielament Manor married Elizabeth Corbett. As Charles was a direct descendant of Raoul Lemprière, the manor returned into Lemprière ownership.It was Charles Lemprière who, in 1770, built the manor that we see today. Although he knocked down the original manor house, he left the medieval manorial chapel and the medieval colombier intact. In 1890, Philip Lemprière, Charles’ grandson, carried out extensive alterations; he covered the granite walls with cement and added the Gothic towers and crenellations.

Rozel MillEvidence shows that there has been a mill on this site since 1219. Popinjay’s map of 1563 shows three windmills standing: Rozel Mill, St Ouen’s Mill and Grouville Mill, and at one time or another there have been 12 windmills and 38 watermills operating in the Island.

Of the earlier windmills, we know that Sir George Carteret put one up at Elizabeth Castle. There were mills at Bel Royal and Mont Mado, and both Samarès Manor and Longueville Manor had their own.In medieval times the mills would have belonged to the King, the seigneur or one of the Norman abbeys that owned land in Jersey. In those days the tenants would have owed ‘suite de moulin’ to whoever owned the mill. This meant that, as well as being obliged to get their corn ground there, they had to offer cartage, labour and materials for the upkeep of the mill.

One has to assume that the three windmills of Popinjay’s day must have been rebuilt or restored, as they, together with St Peter’s Mill which was built in 1837, are the only windmills still standing.

16

The path becomes tarmac and we arrive at the end of Rue des Mares. Here turn left. At the crossroads some way ahead, go straight through into Rue du Scez. The lane bends right and left, and we are rewarded with a view of the French coast in the distance. Avoid a right turn, and carry straight on towards Saie Harbour. The lane drops away as we approach the beach. Just as the lane bends right, bear left up a track called La Rue des Fontenelles - footpath to Rozel Hill. Over to the right, what looks like a pile of stones, is actually a dolmen, which is a Stone Age burial site. The small building, behind the dolmen, was the guard house and powder magazine that supported two 24 pounder cannon sited on the headland behind. The two cannon, together with another battery on the far side of Rozel Bay, provided cross-fire to protect the anchorage below.

Le Couperon DolmenThis late Neolithic dolmen or burial chamber, which is about 5,000 years old, is unique in two ways. It is one of only two gallery graves in the Channel Islands; a gallery grave unlike the more common passage graves has no side chambers. Secondly it’s made of Rozel Conglomerate, a stone that is only found in this corner of Jersey.The dolmen was excavated and ‘restored’ by Reverend Porter in 1868, and again in 1919 by the Société Jersiaise. What we see here is broadly correct. One error, however, is the stone with the semi-circular indentation in it that now blocks the entrance. This porthole stone is one of a pair that should be sited roughly halfway along the chamber, dividing the main chamber from an ante chamber.

Follow the track as it meanders past a small reservoir, turns sharp right, and continues uphill. When we eventually reach the main road, turn right and descend back to Rozel Bay. At the bottom of the hill, bear left and The Rozel Bay is immediately in front of you.

Walk 6 Le Hocq InnMileage: 2 Miles Time: 45 minutes Difficulty: Medium

Full details of Le Hocq Inn are shown on pages 20-21

Leave the pub, turn right and right again into Rue du Hocq. As one might expect in this densely populated parish, we find a large number of houses along this lane, the age of these properties ranging from the 18th century to the present day. St Clement is Jersey’s smallest parish, being only 1.7 square miles, yet it is home to just over 8,000 people.

At the crossroads, continue on into Rue du Pignon, and then take the first left at the Green Lane sign. When we reach the yellow line at the top of Rue de Genestet, turn sharp right into a narrow Green Lane. This is the start of the coffin path that descends to St Clement’s Church. The path crosses two lanes on its way down so be aware of traffic. Just before we cross the second lane we arrive at the St Clement’s Millennium Stone.

St Clement’s Millennium StoneThese stones were put up to celebrate the new Millennium, they are made from Ronez granite and the plaque in front of the stone tells us who assisted or sponsored the project. The Constable of the parish is named, Stan Le Cornu, who was in office then and the parish crest, the anchor, is highlighted.

The parish crests were designed by the art master at Victoria College, Mr. R. G. Wright, and a noted historian of the day, Major N. V. L. Rybot. They chose the anchor because it’s believed that St Clement was martyred by being tied to an anchor and then thrown into the Black Sea. The crests were created especially for the visit of George V and Queen Mary in 1921.

Leave the stone and walk ahead, bearing slightly right, into the footpath across the road. The view from this part of the walk is fabulous. On a clear day, the coast of France, Seymour Tower, Icho Tower and Le Hocq Tower, where we started, are all easily spotted. Descend further and we arrive at St Clement’s Church.

18

St Clement’s ChurchIn common with most parish churches in Jersey, St Clement’s Church has at its heart an ancient Norman church which predates the Norman Conquest. Like other churches of the time, it sent tithes to the mother house in Normandy which, in 1090, was the Abbey of St Saveur Le Vicomte.

The church grew during the 15th century, when a chancel and transepts were added to give the shape of the cross. At the same time the roof was raised and clad in stone, necessitating the addition of buttresses to support the extra weight. The belfry and the spire were added just before the Reformation. The church that we see at present is the product of a major restoration in the late 19th century.

Cross over to the pavement at the far side of the road. Then turn left and take the first right into Rue de Jambart. Notice the marriage stone in the wall of the building that makes the corner.

Marriage StoneTraditionally called marriage stones, these initialled blocks of stone can be seen throughout the Island. They have been used to record anything from a marriage, a date of inheritance, an anniversary or indeed, anything of significance. The dates range from the late 16th century to the early part of the 19th century, though naturally there are a few modern ones around. What one must remember is that the initials are quite often the initials of the syllables in the name. The stone that we see here is a good example; it records Jean de la Mare marrying Jeanne Godfray.

Walk down Rue de Jambart. Just before we reach the coast, turn right up another Green Lane; Rue du Prince. Ascend the lane and turn left at the junction at the top. The view here is also exceptional, over to the right is the suburban side of St Clement; the four tower blocks of Le Marais, Le Rocquier Secondary School immediately in front of us and Nicolle Tower, a Victorian folly, on the skyline on the right. While over on the left, the full sweep of St Clement’s Bay, with La Rocque Harbour and the coast of France presents itself.

Continue on, and at the junction where Rue de la Houguette meets La Rue du Hocq turn left to return back to our starting point.
