St Martin, Jersey

St Saviour's Hospital, formerly called the Jersey Lunatic Asylum, opened in July 1868. The States Assembly were extremely reluctant to spend money on a purpose-built lunatic asylum, and Sir Robert Percy Douglas Lieutenant Governor of Jersey was forced to intervene. The architect was Thomas Gallichan. Its name was changed to the Jersey Mental Hospital in 1952 and then again to St Saviour's Hospital in 1963. The Criminal Justice (Insane Persons) (Jersey) Law of 1964 specifically authorises detention in St. Saviour’s Hospital. A new mental health clinic for older people was opened on the site in 2014, with two wards with a total of 28 acute assessment and treatment beds. There have been several proposals to sell the site, which is said to be worth as much as £15 million.

Le Couperon is a Neolithic dolmen in the parish of Saint Martin, Jersey. Le Couperon is an around meters long capstone chamber that a long mound had originally covered. It was surrounded by a ring of 18 outer stones, known as peristaliths. The site was first excavated in 1868. By that time the capstones had fallen into the chamber. The excavators lifted these and a porthole stone and restored the dolmen to what the excavators believed was its original form. In 1919, the Société Jersiaise moved the porthole stone to its current position at the eastern end of the chamber. However, archeologists believe that originally the porthole stone may have stood within the chamber, dividing it into two segments of unequal length, each with its entrance. Finds at the site included a few flint flakes and pottery fragments. The dolmen stands within a few metres of the Le Couperon guardhouse.

Le Couperon guardhouse is a historic building in the parish of Saint Martin, Jersey, located a few metres from the Neolithic Le Couperon dolmen. The original guardhouse was built in 1689, and was later extended and modified over the centuries. It is one of the few surviving coastal guardhouses constructed during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as part of Jersey’s fortification programme in response to the threat of French invasion. The building is single-storey with a rectangular plan and an asymmetrical pitched roof. It is constructed of local stone. Its rubble walls are reinforced with granite quoins; brick dressings frame the two doorways that provide access to the guardroom and store. It served as a magazine for storing powder and as a shelter for the Jersey militia gun crews who manned the battery on the headland above. The battery commanded Rozel Bay, and by 1812, mounted two 24-pounder muzzle-loading guns that fired over a low wall. The defensive wall has since disappeared. Le Couperon guardhouse is preserved as a listed historic site and one of the surviving fortifications in Rozel Seigneurie, Jersey. It is located 24 km from St.Helier, 760 km from Bricgstōw, and 870 km from London.
