It has been home to the Jersey Zoo since 1958, and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (initially Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust) since 1963. It was also the personal residence of naturalist Gerald Durrell during this time until his death in 1995, and remains so for his widow Lee Durrell. It has been prominently featured in several of Gerald Durrell's works, including ''Menagerie Manor'', which takes its title from the house. The old manor is in the fief of Augrès, but stands on the fief of Diélament. The granite walls and arches date back to the 16th century, but the house was rebuilt in 1771.
