Hamptonne
Hamptonne Country Life Museum is the result of a partnership involving
a number of different island heritage organisations. This substantial
farm complex was bought by The National Trust for Jersey in 1987 with
the financial assistance of the States of Jersey and the restoration work
was co-ordinated and carried out by the Jersey Heritage Trust, funded
by the Société Jersiaise. (More
