Welcome to Guernsey Deep Dive. In this episode, we uncover the touching tale of Barney the Cemetery Cat—a ginger tabby who spent twenty years roaming St Sampson’s Cemetery, offering silent comfort to mourners in their moments of grief. More than just a cat, Barney became a symbol of compassion in Guernsey, his quiet presence easing sorrow and reminding visitors they weren’t alone. After his passing at the age of 20, the community’s outpouring of love ensured his legacy would live on—with a plaque and bench in his honour. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of Guernsey’s most beloved feline guardian.
