The traditional pronunciation of Sark in the native Norman language is sèr, with regular fall of final like clerc in French. Later records all mention Serc- and not *Sark, that seem to result from a later anglicising of the /er/ group (compare French merveille > English marvel French Clerc / English clerk, clark cf. His theory is based on the early medieval Latin records mentioning Sargia, but many Islands more or less close to Sark have a Latin name ending with -gia, such as Angia (Channel Island), Oye-Plage ( Pas-de-Calais, Ogia 8th century) and Île-d'Yeu ( Vendée, former Augia). He proposes a comparison between the probable root of Sark, *Sarg-, and Proto-Semitic *śrq "redden rise (as of the sun) east", noting Sark's position as the easternmost island of the Guernsey group. Richard Coates has suggested that in the absence of a Proto-Indo-European etymology it may be worthwhile looking for a Proto-Semitic source for the name. They spell it Sargia, with the neighbouring island Bissargia, : 41 all the other documents are from the 11th to the 12th century and the forms are : Serc, Serch, Sercum, Serco. : 131–132 The earliest record to evoke possibly the name of Sark are the Life of saint Samson and the Life of saint Magloire, bishops of Dol-de-Bretagne. It has been suggested that Silia referred to Sark. Sark is probably first mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary ( Itinerarium Antonini Augusti, part II : itinerarium maritimum) 3rd – 4th century AD together with the other main Channel Islands as Sarnia, Caesarea, Barsa, Silia and Andium, but it is unclear to which it refers. The candidates endorsed by their various business interests on the island failed to win any seats in the elections held in 20. The brothers contested Sark's control over the island. Since 1993, Brecqhou has been owned by David and Frederick Barclay, the brothers and co-owners of The Daily Telegraph until David Barclay's death in 2021. It is a private island, but it has recently been opened to some visitors.
Sark also exercises jurisdiction over the island of Brecqhou, only a few hundred feet west of Greater Sark. This geological setting would have been analogous to the modern-day subduction zone of the Pacific Ocean plate colliding and subducting beneath the North and South American continental plate. The quartz diorite sheets were intruded during this Cadomian deformation and metamorphic event.Īll the Sark rocks (and those of the nearby Channel Islands of Guernsey and Alderney) formed during geological activity in the continental crust above an ancient subduction zone. Recent (1990–2000) geological studies and rock age dating by geologists from Oxford Brookes University shows that the gneisses probably formed around 620–600 million years ago during the Late Pre-Cambrian Age Cadomian Orogeny. Sark is made up mainly of amphibolite and granite gneiss rocks, intruded by igneous magma sheets called quartz diorite. The whole island is extensively penetrated at sea level by natural cave formations that provide unique habitats for many marine creatures, notably sea anemones, some of which are only safely accessible at low tide. Off the south end of Little Sark are the Venus Pool and the Adonis Pool, both natural swimming pools whose waters are refreshed at high tide. At Port Gorey, the ruins of silver mines may be seen. Little Sark had a number of mines accessing a source of galena. The location is also the highest point in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This high point is named Le Moulin, after the windmill. A windmill, dated 1571, is found there, the sails of which were removed during World War II. Hero MotoCorp Ltd.The highest point on Sark is 374 feet (114 m) above sea level.
