TWW Comment

The church of Jobourg (Jobourg: from the Scandinavian "borg", fortress preceded by the Scandinavian "jorth", "the fortification"). At the top of the cliff, makes the round back under the assaults of the winds assaulting Cape Hague. Planted between low stone walls, this building dates from the 11th century, probably replacing a much older sanctuary, since traces of a Roman camp were spotted in the nearby. https://www.eglisesenmanche.com/eglises-du-nord-cotentin/j/jobourg/
