Families associated with the property
- Gibaut: It is a property of great antiquity. Jean Gibaut, Constable of St Lawrence from 1551 to 1558, lived there, as did a descendant, Philippe Gibaut, in 1658.
- Bichard: It is not clear when the family acquired the peoperty and whether it is their oldest home in the parish. Family tradition and the fact that it was eventually inherited by the cadet line, suggest that Seaview, another family home in the parish, has probably had a longer connection, Cap Verd can be followed through five generations from Charles Bichard (1757- ) before being sold. One of the Cap Verd descendants, Philippe grandson of Charles, continued the Gibaut tradition and became Constable of St Lawrence in 1877.

Notes and references
- ↑ The main recent claim to fame of the house is that the Underground hospital was built during the German Occupation underneath its land
- ↑ Although the correct spelling of the road name is 'Verde', the house appears to be known as Cap Verd, and is thought to have been named after a ship of that name.
