Portelet Tower : ウィキペディア英語版 | Portelet Tower
Portelet Tower, Jersey, is a Martello tower that the British built in 1808 on the tidal island ''L'Île au Guerdain'' in Portelet Bay in the parish of Saint Brélade, Jersey. The site is often referred to as ''Janvrin's tower'' or ''Janvrin's Tomb''. The site is accessible at low tide but the tower itself is closed. ==Janvrin's tomb== Philippe Janvrin, a local seafarer, died of the plague in 1721, while on the way back to Jersey. Fear of contagion led the authorities to insist that he be buried on the tidal island, which became known as ''Janvrin's Tomb'', though his body was later re-interred at St Brelade's.
