......the castle of Mont Orgueil in Gorey, Jersey, built in the 13th century as the island's main defence against the French whose coastline was only 14 miles away. During the next century it survived sporadic attacks-and a 7 year occupation- by the French and was the English Crown's administration centre, home to the Governor of Jersey. It was also a desolate home to debtors, criminals and the occasional suspected witch. :O This photograph was taken at high tide, while my last photograph I posted of Mont Orgueil Castle was taken at low tide.
