La Gran' Mère de Chimquiere

The La Gran' Mère de Chimquiere is a statue menhir near the parish church of St Martin on Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. The name would translate as the Grandmother of Chimquiere. It is a female figure and stands 1.65 meters in height. Originally it was a neolithic statue carved around 2500-1800BC. The statue was reworked, maybe around the Roman period giving it its present features.
