Notes and references
- ↑ Within a short distance of each other on a narrow lane in St Lawrence called La Ruette are three properties called Les Ruettes, and one called La Ruette. We think there is some confusion on the HER website between two of the three Les Ruettes, and that the photographs shown for each are actually of the same property. However, we have included them as shown there while we investigate further. We believe that all three houses are strictly known as Les Ruettes, but we have listed one as Les Ruettes Farm and another as Les Ruettes 2 to help distinguish between them
