Families associated with the property
- Sarre
- Cristin: Before Charles Le Quesne bought the property in 1909, a house and cottages known as Quarryside was purchased by Philip Alfred Cristin, after having been passed down through the Sarre family. The Sarre family’s association with Quarryside can be traced back to at least 1809, in which year Thomas Sarre inherited the property from his father, also Thomas
- Le Quesne
- Coutanche: In 1941 Herbert Charles Coutanche (1884- ), quarry foreman at the time, his wife Emma Jane, nee Vibert (1885- ) and daughter Doris Laura (1928- ) were living here
Datestones
- 17 TP ♥ CLG 21 - The Datestone Register does not decipher this stone. HER suggests that the TP stands for Tapin, which seems unlikely. [1] There is one listed marriage which could fit the stone if the first initial 'T' has been misread and should be 'I', which often stands for 'J' on a datestone. Jean Page married Catherine Le Greslet (Gresley) in St Mary in 1693 and they may have acquired the St John property years later.
