A little bit of history
“A big WELCOME and enjoy”
www.hamptons.co.uk
Jersey boasts a captivating and ancient past. It harbors traces of prehistoric life, including evidence of Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) humans at La Cotte de St. Brelade, and rich remnants from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. During Roman times, it went by the name Caesarea. Historical records from the 11th century depict Jersey as comprising 12 parishes within the diocese of Coutances. In the 12th century, Norman landowners exerted significant influence on the island, dividing it into three revenue collection units for the king-duke. Following its separation from Normandy in 1204, Jersey underwent reorganization. It retained its Norman legal system and local customs but saw administrative changes. It was governed on behalf of the king by a warden and sometimes a lord. By the late 15th century, Jersey had its own captain, later known as the governor, a role abolished in 1854, with the responsibilities passing to a lieutenant governor, who continues to oversee them. In 1617, it was established that justice and civil matters were under the bailiff’s jurisdiction.

Busy Bees This nursery is located in St Helier but there are Busy Bees nurseries wherever you need them. You’ll find them nestled by universities, tucked close to train stations, attached to hospitals, and snuggled down quiet streets in towns and cities, perfectly placed for drop-offs and pick-ups. Some are based in small, cosy homes, others in office buildings - and we even have one in a converted church. Every nursery is as unique as its children, but whichever you choose you can look forward to exceptional quality childcare, NHS-accredited food menus, enriching curriculum and exciting environments that give your child the best start in life.

Bohemia If you’ve something special to celebrate, this marble-fronted restaurant in a stylish hotel is the place to come – and cocktails in the bar are all part of the experience. It’s a chic, contemporary place, where bright linenclad tables stand out against dimly lit, dark wood walls, and the engaging team help to make a visit here rather special.The chef learned his craft in France and Switzerland and his eye-catching dishes reflect this experience. Flavours are natural and wellbalanced, there’s the occasional hint of playfulness, and he clearly understands how to use techniques to enhance rather than overshadow the produce. Jersey’s ingredients are well-represented but the philosophy here is to use what’s best, wherever it might be from. Pescatarians and vegetarians are well looked after.
