Families associated with the property
- Le Brocq: Philippe Le Brocq (1737-1782) lived here with his family, in the 18th century. It remained in his family passing, through the female line, into the hands of Jean Balleine (1795-1881) by his marriage in 1818 to Anne Le Brocq (1792-1884).
- Balleine: The Balleines sold the property in the 1870s to Colonel Charles Philippe Le Cornu, the new Seigneur de la Hague, who wished to distance the Manor's farm from the vicinity of the colombier, choosing instead this property. It has since borne the name Manor Farm, with a feature from the Le Cornu arms, a horn (corne), being engraved upon the building.
- Ecobichon: In 1941 Alexandre Ecobichon (1913- ), Victorine Marie Ecobichon (1907- ), Augustine Ecobichon (1915- ) and Elise Louise Ecobichon (1918- ) were living at La Hague Manor Farm. It is believed that they were siblings, children of Mathurin and Victorine Ecobichon, who were both born in France.
