Lé Douët Fleury is at the end of a field path near St.Martin's Church. The Douët is fed by a brook which finally discharges into La Mare Ste.Catherine. There are several groups of letters on the stone pillars of the Douët which were the initials of the householders who were entitled to use it for washing their household linen. These carvings include EELS 1832 (for Édouard Élie Le Sauteur). This would be Édouard Élie Le Sauteur, Centenier de St.Martin, né 1792, married to Jeanne Sohier. They lived on Rue Faldouët in the Vingtaine du Fief de la Reine. (Excerpt from William Thomas Le Sauteur, 1990). Pour en savoir plus: http://www.societe-jersiaise.org/alexgle/stonejsylavoirs.html
