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.

Cheyanne St. John read the statement on behalf of the four Minnesota Dakota communities. It addressed the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and The Walker Arts Center:

 

"As elected leaders and representatives of Minnesota’s Board Dakota Communities Tribal Nations,we are here today to address the recent installment of the scaffold structure. The design of which is based in part in the 1862 mass execution of our people.

 

We are profoundly disappointed with the Walker Arts Center and the Minneapolis Park Board that not only would you agree to host a sculpture that exploits the largest mass execution in the country’s history for unclear purposes but also that you did not first open a dialogue with the state’s Dakota nations about the potential impact of this decision.

 

The 38 Dakota were brutally executed by the US government with virtually no due process rights afforded them in a manner that is more vigilante justice than justice based upon the rule of law and basic human rights.

 

These men fought in a war instigated by a series of broken treaty promises perpetuated by the US that led to starvation and desperation for our ancestors. We will always remember and honor these men. We will never forget what happened in Mankato or the forced removal of most Dakota people from Minnesota in the aftermath of the execution.

 

This is a painful part of history for our Dakota people which includes the overt acts of genocide directed at our people, not something to be depicted in a sculpture garden next to a giant rooster or spoon with a cherry. Although it took a public outcry for the Walker to remove the piece we are thankful that the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Park Board and the artist Sam Durant have recognized the inappropriateness of the sculpture and the deep hurt that it has caused the Dakota people.

 

We are now encouraged by a deeper conversation about our history and who we are today and we are teaching how to engage with our native communities. To that end we appreciate that you have chosen to meet with a group of Dakota elders and representatives here at the Walker Art Center today. It’s important to hear from the diverse voices as you did today. It is likewise important that you meet with authorized representatives of Minnesota’s 4 federally recognized Dakota governments, Prairie Island Indian Community the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, the Upper Sioux Community and the Lower Sioux Indian Community. We are unaware of any attempts to communicate directly with these tribes until today.

 

We urge the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Park Board to continue taking this step to contact these tribal nations as they did today.

 

Thank you."

"Scaffold," a wood & steel sculpture, is a composite of the representations of 7 historical gallows used in US state-sanctioned executions by hanging between 1859 and 2006. One of them being the gallows constructed in Mankato, Minnesota to simultaneously hang 38 Dakota men on December 26, 1862 on orders signed by President Lincoln following the U.S.-Dakota War. The Mankato execution is the largest one-day execution in American history.

Construction on the plant began in 1932 and the building became operational on November 1, 1941. The building, unlike most modern engineering structures, was also created to make an architectural statement. Fashioned in the Art Deco style, the cathedral-like structure remains one of Toronto's most admired buildings.

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.

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.
