Lewis Tower, Jersey

It was erected by the British in 1835, and is named after Colonel Griffith Lewis, who commanded the Royal Engineers in Jersey from December 1830 to January 1836.

On 1 May 1779, the Rector of St Ouen, le Sire du Parcq, brought the parish field guns to a favourable spot to help repulse the Franco-Dutch Invasion of Jersey.

Four years after Lewis Tower's completion, it received a coat of stucco or cement to reduce the damp.

The bunker today houses the Channel Islands Military Museum.

The Germans also built a concrete extension at the tower's base that housed a searchlight.
