Les Augrès Manor

The granite walls and arches date back to the 16th century, but the house was rebuilt in 1771.

The manor contains numerous datestones, the oldest identifiable ones of which state Les Augrès Manor was the seat of the Seigneur of Augrès, which included notable people from the Dumaresq family.

In 1649 during the interregnum, the recently proclaimed "King" Charles II visited Royalist, Elias Dumaresq at Augrès Manor with Philippe de Carteret and George de Carteret, giving him a new grant to the title.

[2] The manor was separated from the title following the death and bankruptcy of Elias Dumaresq, 5th Seigneur of Augres.

It has been prominently featured in several of Gerald Durrell's works, including Menagerie Manor, which takes its title from the house.
