Scenes of St Saviour (10/16/25)

There are 12 parishes on the island of Jersey — 10 of them named for saints. “Our” house is located in St Saviour, which is the second most populous parish after St Helier (home to the largest city on the island). St Saviour is a virtually landlocked parish (only 100 meters of coastline) in the eastern third of the island.

It is the only parish with 5 other parishes as immediate neighbors. Other fun facts about the parish — it is the birth and burial place of Lillie Langtry, a British socialite, stage actress, and producer. It is home to La Hogue Bie, one of the most important Neolithic sites in Europe, and the Lieutenant Governor, who represents the Crown on the island, also live in St Saviour.
