Vingtaine

Vingtaine du Rocquier (Jèrriais: Vîngtaine du Rotchi) is one of the three vingtaines of the Parish of Saint Clement in Jersey.[1] Rotchi means rock or rocky place in Jèrriais,[2] and the vingtaine covers generally low-lying coastal terrain stretching north from Le Hocq and rising up hillsides. Within the vingtaine are Saint Clement's school (primary) and Le Rocquier School.

  • The wooden sculpture of a bird is a landmark of the vingtaine
  • Saint Clement's school
  • This road name perpetuates the memory of a long-vanished chapel
