The D-Day Map Room Museum
The Map Room Museum was created by the former owner, Colonel Michael Chilcott, who together with friends collected a trove of information and visuals that will help put your visits to the nearby D-Day beaches into context. Grateful thanks are extended to Colin MacMillan, Late Honourable Artillery Company DYRMS for the explanatory texts within the Map Room.
Le Manoir des Doyens, alongside many other large properties in the area were put to good use by the Allied forces during the D-Day landings, and our property was the site for hospital BGH 101. A young nurse, Mary Morris, wrote a memoir of her time here at the Manoir which describes the highs, lows and difficulties faced by the medical teams and patients during the liberation here. Her book, ‘A Very Private Diary’ can be bought on Amazon.
The Map Room is free for our guests; for group visits, please contact us first.
