Historic Environment Record entry
Listed building
Two features at the property date to the Georgian period. Stones from the site of La Chapelle de St Jean L’Evangeliste were at one point on this property. Little remains of historical interest at this property. Two features are still significant: the mounting steps and the datestone. The datestone is inscribed: ILI 1820.
Old Jersey Houses
Adjoining the farmland is also a field called Clos de la Chapelle, referring to a medieval chapel dedicated to St John the Evangelist. The chapel has long disappeared but in the grounds of the farm there are fragments of moulded stone that are reputed to be remnants of the building.
On the north of the central of three buildings, now demolished, were sash windows of a pattern older than the datestone
