This is a fine example of a merchant’s house, dating back to 1611. The St Aubin’s fleet in this period acquired great wealth as privateers licensed by the Bailiff Sir George Carteret and the Crown. During wars between England and France and Spain the Channel Islanders were given a roving commission (Letter of Marque) to attack and capture enemy ships on the authority of the Crown. The ships and crew were known as privateers, and many valuable prizes were brought to St Aubin where Sir George’s Court of Admiralty sat in this building.
