Families associated with the property
- Filleul: The property belonged to a prominent St Clement family, Filleul, for nearly three centuries before its 1822 sale to Mr Charles Coutanche, great-grandfather of Jersey`s able wartime leader, who became Lord Coutanche. The Filleuls of Maupertuis gave to the Island several rectors and men of letters. They continue to thrive--in New Zealand; see Filleuls Past and Present by the Revd. Samuel Edward Valpy Filleul, which describes this property, as it was, in detail.
