Church House

Built in the late 1850s as one of John Mowlem's offices on the island. Mowlem was a contractor in London who used Guernsey granite supply for paving and started his own quarry in Guernsey. The wedge/triangle shape is believed to have allowed cart access to the surrounding stone yards. The building was uninhabited for approximately 25 years before restoration. At the peak of the granite industry in the 19th century, there were 268 functioning quarries on Guernsey.≈ (inferred from the source page)
