More Information
The Chalice |
The beautifully-crafted 18th century loving cup by Huguenot silversmith Pierre Amiraux was created in Jersey around 1750-1760. This charming chalice has flared lip and scroll handles and body with raised girdle. The coat of arms for the Labey family of Jersey is set on a circular stepped foot, the base with makers mark struck once and the initials TLB, weight 7.5oz 5.5in (14cm) high.
The Mystery |
For the past 260 years this beautiful chalice has been on display in the silverware of St. Helier Town Church, a gift from our Wartime Rector. However the church cleaners, arriving on Saturday last, armed with silver polish and cloths, discovered that this precious chalice has mysteriously disappeared. There are no signs of forced entry and the cupboard was securely locked, with a key held only by the Dean of Jersey and the Church Warden.
The Mission |
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to unravel the cryptic clues to take you around the East of the Island with your Jersey Uncovered Guide and Driver visiting top Bergerac locations, in the footsteps of our famous Jersey Detective.
During your morning you will uncover more clues at each location, to help you put together the fascinating story behind the missing Chalice. Uncover the backstory of The Amiraux family who became master silversmiths in the Channel Islands, and discover their modern- day links. At the end of the trail, reveal the location of the original chalice (if you can).
The Tour is half day adventure that will take you across the East of the island, beginning in St. Helier Town Church, and visiting 10th Century chapels and crypts, ancient standing stones and a medieval castle, providing you with entertainment, photographic opportunities, and a large dollop of local history and mystery. Miss it if you dare!
