Description

Shows view, probably of Castle Cornet in Guernsey, with Havelet Bay and St Martin's Parish behind. The causeway is in the foreground.

Work may be by Mary Medley's sister, Laura Harper.

Visitor Clare Ogier recounts that, in the days before the causeway was built, inhabitants of the castle would exchange fire with the mainland during the day, but at night would cross the water to get food from the mainland with no harassment from mainland inhabitants.
