St Sampson's Memorial Tablet, Guernsey


St Sampson's Memorial Tablet

St Sampson's Memorial Tablet

Just inside St. Sampson's churchyard, on the wall that borders Church Road, is a tablet that commemorates eight Guernseymen who died as a result of the Great War, and were buried in the cemetery. Only one grave remains today as, in 1969, part of the graveyard collapsed into a neighbouring quarry.

Two headstones were rescued and are now in the Sally Port Magazine at Castle Cornet. More details can be found in the Group Journal no.11
