In Memory of
JEAN DE NARDE
son of a Notary Public
of St Malo
A French Prisoner of War
who having escaped
from the Belltower
of this Church
was pursued and shot
by a soldier on duty
Octr 6th 1799
Aged 28 years
Napoleonic Conflict
In the late 1700s Dereham church's bell tower was used as a prison for French prisoners of war being transferred from Great Yarmouth to Norman Cross under the charge of the East Norfolk Militia. On 6 October 1799 a French officer, Jean de Narde, managed to escape from the tower and, being unable to escape from the church yard due to guards being present, hid in a tree. The Frenchman was spotted and shot when he refused to come down and surrender. Jean is buried in the church yard, and his grave is marked by a memorial stone erected in 1858, which includes the following statement: "Once our foes but now our allies and brethren."

The East North Militia have one “battle honour” to its “credit” Whilst escorting French prisoners of war from Yarmouth to Norman Cross, The Militia locked up their prisoners for the night in the bell tower of Dereham church – for safe keeping. In spite of this, an officer by the name of Jean De Narde, the 28 year son of a notary from St. Malo, managed to escape from the church. Finding that the Militia had set piquets around the perimeter of the Church he climbed an oak hoping that his absence would go unnoticed and that the party would leave without him thus allowing him to make good his escape. Unfortunately for De Narde, the Militia, realizing that they were missing a prisoner conducted a search of the locality and the Frenchman was spotted on account of him leaving his legs dangling from the tree. The Sergeant was told to get the Frenchman down. The prisoner was called on to surrender. Whether De Narde did not understand English that was yelled at him or perhaps he did not even realise that he had been discovered, De Narde kept to his tree. The Sergeant thereupon shot the Frenchman from the tree, killing him instantly. The local population were apparently ashamed by this action and thought this deed to be one of unnecessary cruelty, according to the Parish Priest, the Reverend Benjamin John Armstrong . Eventually a monument was raised to the unfortunate De Narde and the family in St Malo informed of his fate.

Jean de Narde was a French prisoner of war who had been landed at Yarmouth, and was on his way to Norman Cross prison in 1799. His party was lodged in the Bell Tower of East Dereham church overnight, and he attempted to escape by climbing down the wall but was shot by one of the guards. He was buried in the cemetery and later in the 19th century a headstone was placed above his grave. There is a plaque on the tower wall that relates this story. A contemporary account of prisoners marching through the area records the frequent passage of such prisoners, with East Dereham being one of the halts for the night:
Columns of prisoners often 1,000 strong were marched from Yarmouth to Norwich and lodged in the castle. From Yarmouth they were marched to Lynn halting at Costessey, East Dereham and thence to Lynn. Here the captives were lodged temporarily in an old warehouse on the north side of the King Staith.
The Norman Cross brochure has this text on the front of its folder:
In 1797 the Transport Board of the Admiralty decided that a new prison establishment was required in the east of England, to house the many thousands of French and Dutch prisoners of war arriving in this country. The site had to be inland to hinder escape attempts although within easy access of the coast so that captives could be landed at Kings Lynn and Yarmouth and conveyed to the depot at minimal cost; in a fertile area where the local produce could supply the depot; and on a site that possessed a good water supply. Norman Cross possessed all these attributes and was on the Great North Road so that troops, prisoners and supplies could be conveyed along this route easily. Construction work began in December 1796 and by the following April the prison was ready for the reception of prisoners.
The depot was in use from 1797 to 1814 and housed not only French but Dutch, German, Italian and Polish POWs. These men were captured at the naval battles of Camperduin and Trafalgar and during the Peninsular War. Prisoners also came from enemy privateers and merchant vessels, the capture of the French colonies in the West Indies and from battles such as Maida in 1806 in Italy and the Walcheren campaign of 1809.

The " Bell Tower" (to adopt loyally the indigenous name) stands, not on the church, like most of its contemporaries, but beside it. It was also used as a lock-up or temporary prison in the days when French captives were marched from Yarmouth to Norman Cross, and passed a night at Norwich and Dereham on their way.
One October evening in 1799, a batch of these poor fellows were lodged in the hospitable precincts of this Bell Tower. A prisoner of war by the name of Jean de la Narde, twenty-eight years of age, the son of a notary of St. Malo, thought he would try to escape during the night. He was discovered, however, by the sentry, pursued by the guard just as he had succeeded in climbing into a large tree, and was there shot dead. A neat stone was erected over his remains by the kind-hearted vicar and renewed by the Rev. B. J. Armstrong in 1856.

Feb. 17 1858. Today another cross was set up in the churchyard, the inscription under which will speak for itself. 'In memory of Jean de Narde, son of a Notary Public of St. Malo. A French prisoner of war, who, having escaped from the Bell tower of this church, was pursued and shot by a soldier. October 6th, 1799, aged 28 years.

6. (March 1858)*—“Within the last few days a stone has been placed in the churchyard at East Dereham, in memory of Jean de Narde, a French prisoner of war, who, in the year 1796 while en route from Yarmouth to Norman Cross prison, was lodged in the lower chamber of the bell tower of the church, and escaped therefrom. He was pursued by the guard, and, after some search, was espied in a tree on the Scarning Road, and when summoned by a soldier to descend and surrender he did not comply. His non-compliance forfeited his life, for he was shot off it like a crow. The stone was erected by the vicar and two other gentlemen.”

(I’m leaning towards discounting this version – not only is the year wrong but it’s the only version that implies he managed to get further than the churchyard).
So lots of slight variations on the circumstances of Jeans’ death throughout all those. I believe this headstone was a replacement for one put in place contemporaneously by the then incumbent Vicar.

For those who like their bathrooms to make a bit of a design statement, the Moods Kanuka eye-catching range in smooth white ceramic is definitely the one to go for. There are several items in this collection which are striking in their own right but put together the whole bathroom suite range is simply stunning. The range is quite chunky and solid with options of square or smooth designs within the items.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde delivers a statement on the conclusion of the IMF's Executive Board regular five-yearly review of the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) November 30, 2015 at the IMF Headquarters in Washington, DC. Lagarde stated “The Executive Board's decision to include the RMB in the SDR basket is an important milestone in the integration of the Chinese economy into the global financial system. It is also a recognition of the progress that the Chinese authorities have made in the past years in reforming China’s monetary and financial systems. The continuation and deepening of these efforts will bring about a more robust international monetary and financial system, which in turn will support the growth and stability of China and the global economy.” IMF Staff Photo/Stephen Jaffe

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The process of transforming paint and other materials into images continues to compel and challenge me. Over the years, that process has led me from ceramics, photography, drawing and painting, and most recently to pursue experimental processes on paper. Painting fills me with a sense of serenity and integrity, and has proven a most reliable vehicle for translating inner vision to outer reality.
My abstract paintings explore the wonders of nature and beauty in our world. Personal symbols that have emerged through this process include; the Turtle (wisdom/grace), the Dragonfly (metamorphosis/change) and the Tree (steadfastness/beauty).
I use a variety of different paints/media (oil pastel, ink, acrylic, latex, gouache, and wood) and yet I am always drawn back to water colors for their unpredictable nature and their transparency.
I paint from the inside out. Focusing on the sensation and context of my experience. I work deliberately, employing both traditional and innovative techniques, while letting the uncertain nature of painting free my hand. My paintings are finished when they are able to convey a moment or sensation, as well as what I am feeling.
I am avaiable to do commisions and private art lessons also.

To my Darkness and my Light,
I unfold myself; you, in turn, call to me with your warm and aching mouth— its tongue, a delicate command I will not long withstand.
Your lips spill sighs; I drink until your thirst is sated.
Trembling hands steady me beneath you. You guide me toward your deepest acceptance. I find a center in you; you grasp me and gasp.
(You shudder— hands bracing the afternoon light dying against such white walls. I see with the eye of god your ineffable Beauty. I fall and place this feeble kiss to caress the spine of your neck as I pass.)
With you I experience annihilations most will never know.
After I am restless; you know that what I want is what I will never manage alone— you coax from my every ending its next beginning.
We must map these new and nameless oblivions together.

Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place:
The Vancouver Club is a sophisticated five-storey building, notable for its symmetrical five-bay, brick and terra cotta front facade, with central entrance and projecting balcony. Displaying Classical Revival ornamentation, it is an imposing presence mid-block on the north side of West Hastings Street, between Burrard and Hornby Streets. The rear of the club faces north to the harbour.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Vancouver Club lies in its historical, associative, and architectural significance.
The Vancouver Club is valuable for its unique role in the history of the city as one of the primary social organizations for many of the city's and the province’s most prominent citizens, including leaders in business and political affairs. This building recalls this unique social activity from 1914, when the club moved to this building from its previous clubhouse, located on the lot immediately to the east. The Vancouver Club survives as one of the few private clubs left in Vancouver.
The current Vancouver Club, opened on January 1, 1914, is one of the city's most sophisticated examples of Edwardian era architecture, displaying a high quality of workmanship and a significant degree of architectural integrity. Referencing its role as a home away from home for members, the club was built to resemble a substantial British townhouse. The club was inspired by seventeenth and eighteenth century English classicism - architecture influenced by the practices of the Italian Renaissance - and displays Palladian style ornamental motifs. Many of the famous gentlemen's clubs in London were similarly styled, and the style and appearance of the Vancouver Club reflects the British origins of most of its early members. When completed, the club was described as an example of ‘modern Renaissance’ design, due to its symmetrical appearance, harmonious proportions, Palladian-style attic type windows and ornamentation in the classical manner. The interior of the club displays handsome and dignified design. Rooms throughout feature elements such as vaulted ceilings, elaborate plasterwork, beautiful panelling and other fine materials such as terrazzo and marble. Principal rooms such as the Grand Ballroom (former Dining Room) are substantial in size, highly finished, and represent some of Vancouver’s greatest surviving early interior spaces.
This successful architectural achievement was the work of the firm of Sharp and Thompson, one of Vancouver’s most prolific and accomplished architectural partnerships. Shortly after winning the commission for the Vancouver Club, the firm won their most famous commission, the competition for the new University of British Columbia. One of the key talents of Sharp and Thompson was their ability to design in traditional styles but still remain in the forefront of advanced technology. Such was the case with the Vancouver Club, featuring a historical facade on an early example of a modern, reinforced concrete superstructure. Belying its traditional appearance, the club was provided with up-to-date ventilation, heating and electrical systems and engineered with all modern conveniences in the way of kitchens, refrigeration, central vacuum, electric lifts and dumbwaiters.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Vancouver Club include its:
- continuous use as a private club
- institutional form, scale and massing as expressed in its five storey height, flat roof and regular, rectangular plan
- masonry construction, such as its brown coloured Hebron pressed brick facade; tan terra cotta detailing and granite-clad foundation
- elements of the exterior relevant to Sharp and Thompson's original design, including a symmetrical five-bay front facade; T-shaped plan; flat roof and stepped parapet with terra cotta cartouche and hanging torus mouldings; central entrance flanked by two service entrances; oak and glazed double doors with transoms, continuous balcony across the second storey with torus moulding; and simple continuous entablatures with dentils
- deeply inset, regular fenestration with multi-pane, steel-sash casement windows; double-hung multi-paned wooden sash windows; and small square attic windows
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Vancouver Club’s interior include its:
- interior spatial configurations relevant to Sharp and Thompson's original design
- interior detailing, materials and finishes, such as its dark honey-coloured oak window and door casings with square corner blocks
- mixed flooring materials, including white marble with grey veining, terrazzo with black and white marble inlay, black marble baseboards, unglazed white porcelain tile flooring with green border in lavatories
- ashlar terra cotta and black and white mosaic tiles in the main entrance
- double stair in main hall; vaulted, barrel-vaulted and flat ceilings
- Adams and Georgian style detailing
- and original fireplaces and radiators throughout
Key elements that define the Vancouver Club’s location include:
- prominent mid-block location on West Hastings Street, amongst numerous other prominent heritage properties
- contiguous and spatial relationship to the harbour
