La Ronde Porte, an historic farmhouse in the Parish of St Saviour has been vandalized, with every glass window smashed, pantiles broken, paint thrown around and doors kicked in. The main house was also broken into, and the existing glass house largely destroyed.
La Ronde Porte was bequeathed by the late Philip (Bunny) Le Sueur to the National Trust for Jersey in 2022 and dates back to the late 18th Century. It comprises a main farmhouse, outbuildings with a Jersey range, brick paviours, cow byres and an apple crusher.
The States of Jersey Police have been called in to investigate and forensic evidence has been collected.
Alan Le Maistre, CEO of the Trust said: ‘It is heartbreaking to witness such mindless destruction. Plans have just been passed to install services and to make the main house habitable and we have been working on establishing the site as a community hub to support rural enterprise and the agricultural industry.’
The Trust is calling for anyone living in the vicinity to keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviour and anyone with any information is asked to call the States of Jersey Police.
