The earliest record of the house dates from 1135.[3] The manor also includes a mediaeval chapel, St Anne's Chapel.
As a part of the 1940 Jersey local elections, the manor was offered to the victor, Edward Campbell. However, Campbell became disillusioned with the idea, and declined.[4]
The house and grounds remain intact today, and the house is a private home for the De Carteret family. It is occasionally open to the public.
