Havilland Hall

Havilland Hall is the largest privately owned estate on the island of Guernsey, and lies close to Saint Peter Port. [1]

A branch of the de Havilland family resided at Havilland Hall for many years. The current house was built in 1830 for Lt Col Thomas de Havilland. [2] [3]

It is home to the British property developer David Rowland, and in 2005 Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the disgraced former British prince, unveiled a life-size bronze statue there of Rowland smoking a cigar in a "vaguely Churchillian pose". [1]
