Old Jersey Houses
Although Elliston House is included in the second volume of Joan Stevens' Old Jersey Houses, devoted to houses built after 1700, she wrote that 'there is reason to think that this house was built before 1677'.
In that year Jacques Pipon, who died before 1706, bought some waste land from Sir Edouard de Carteret, between land he already held from Helier Mauger, where he was said to have already constructed a house, going towards the high tide mark.
There are windows at the back which Mrs Stevens said pointed to a 17th century date, and internal features 'all indicate alterations at various dates'.
Jacques Pipon, who eventually inherited the house when his brother Thomas went to live in England, [1] was among the signatories requesting States permission to build a quay in St Aubin in 1790.
