Memorial - Maritime Museum Jersey - Part Two

Just as you walk through the doors to the Museum, there are a further two plaques.

Memorial - Maritime Museum Jersey - Part One

Outside the Maritime Museum stands a rather impressive memorial. The memorial is to those islanders who removed from the island and sent to concentration camps and prisons during the Second World War. Not all returned.

The following are pictures of the marble stones which bears the carvings of  the 20 individuals who did return. Whilst the memorial is expressive, the stones are dreadful to photograph!

Interesting Marker - Rozel Bay Jersey - 10th October 2011

Having arrived at Rozel Bay at lunchtime we enjoyed a sandwich and coffee and a tea shop. As we walked back in the direction of the car I spotted a marker situated outside the pathway to one of the houses. I snapped a quick picture planning to ponder on the purpose of such a marker.

A little later on in the week we visited a Jersey Heritage site and there I saw an explanation for similar markers.

Typically, These markers shows the owner of the property and the date and the details of all those who had rights of passage. What I find interesting about this marker is the word of conn..ble (4th row down). I believe the word actually says constable and is this in keeping with other odd markers spotted on the island. Very often there would simply be a stone with the engraved name of an individual, a date and the word constable.

I therefore think that this marker is in reference to the parish constable and those officials who had right of access to the parish or the parish building. The date is clearly shown as 1838.

As I have a curious nature I may well investigate further!

Killerton House, Devon - Part One

You can read about our visit to Killerton House HERE. The house and estate are owned by the National Trust.

As we walked along to the chapel which sits on the edge of the estate we could see these these statues of Urns, marking the pathway.

What a wonderful way to remember the work and contribution of a loyal employee. Arthur Godfrey worked at Killerton for just under 40 years; what an achievement.
