Carette of Sark - John Oxenham

Carette of Sark

THE WEST COAST OF SARK AND BRECQHOU. The standing rocks are the AUTELETS. The first bay on the left is SAIGNIE; the next, PORT DU MOULIN; then behind the great rock TINTAGEU is PORT A LA JUMENT. The GOULIOT PASS seperates SARK from BRECQHOU; the house on BRECQHOU was in the dip just above where the white waves are breaking. The GALÉ de JACOB is close to the first cave.

Sercq is a small exclusive land where the forty farm holdings to-day are almost identical with those fixed by Helier de Carteret in the time of Queen Elizabeth; where feudal observances which date back to the time of Rollo, Duke of Normandy, are still the law of the land; and where family names and records in some cases run back unbroken for very many generations.
