Probably the finest and most complete 3 storeyed house to survive to the present. Whilst the present house dates to about 1603, there are considerable portions that date back further to possibly the 15th century.
Jacques de Beauvoir bought the property in 1603 from Louis de Vic (1540 - 1607) and was responsible for building the house that we see today.
Louis de Vic was the grandson of Louis de Vic and Jenette de Beauvoir. (I am descended from this couple.)
The house is built in the style of the traditional Guernsey 6 bay longhouse and has been owned by descendants of Jacques de Beauvoir to 1917 when it was bought by the present owners parents.
During the Civil War, this was the country house of Pierre de Beauvoir (1599 - 1678) Bailiff of Guernsey (which equates to President) and the islands leading 'Roundhead'. There are a wealth of stories relating to these times and much of the intrigue would have been discussed at the manor.
Having visited the manor, I have taken the following images, owing to overcast sky and reuction in size and reolution for faster downloading, the images are of low quality!
