Families associated with the property
- Orange: This property belonged to the Orange family for about three centuries. The principal holding of this family had almost certainly been, in the early 16th century, La Moye Manor, before it bore the description "manor".
- Le Bas: This was the home of the Le Bas family during the German Occupation. In 1943 Herbert du Heaume Le Bas made an agricultural war claim. He had applied before the start of the Occupation for postponement of military service of his brother George Renouf Le Bas (1918- ). Herbert lived at La Moie Villa with his wife Florence May, nee Le Cornu (1916- ). They married at Grouville in 1939.
