The stone in question, suitably inscribed and somewhat large, has been gathering dust for 12 years as its precise location could not be settled.
The boundary between the two eastern parishes used to stand between two properties on the seafront which were demolished to make way for the Longbeach apartments.
One of the first tenants there was the former Constable of Grouville, Frank Amy, whose move nearly ended his term of office when he discovered that his flat was in St Martin.
Having failed to persuade the parishes to realign the boundary, he decided to up sticks, but the placing of the stone has never been resolved.
The present Constable, Dan Murphy, said that as the Constable of St Martin, John Germain, was due to retire, they hoped finally to find a suitable resting place for the stone.
‘It was all ready and had been sitting in St Martin’s parish yard for years, ready to go in.
It is a three-sided stone which will be placed on St Martin’s side of the boundary to the left of the granite namestone on the Longbeach development,’ said Mr Murphy.
