With continual transformation and a mission to be a regenerative space rooted in the nature and wellbeing of humanity and the planet, the estate is now known as Broughton Sanctuary.

The Tempest Family are believed to have come to England from Normandy during William Conqueror’s 1066 invasion of England and were given land in the aftermath of the invasion. Roger Tempest, the current custodian of Broughton Sanctuary is the thirty second generation of Tempests to be custodian of the sanctuary.
