A day on Jersey



I flew to Jersey for the day mostly to find the memorial to Portia Owen Hemery. Portia's father William Fitzwilliam Owen was granted Campobello Island and there is a memorial to Portia in St. Anne's Church on the island. She died and is buried on Jersey and her memorial there is in St. Luke's church. After finding the memorial I walked around St. Helier and the water front before flying back to Guernsey.
