Seymour Tower was built in 1782 on the rocky outcrop, almost 2 miles off the south east coast of Jersey, known as L’Avarison islet following the Battle of Jersey in 1781. It was one of 30 coastal towers proposed by Sir Henry Seymour Conway when he was appointed Governor of Jersey. The islet provided a secure base and a practical location for early warning of any impending attack.
