Although Dr Lane’s permanent home is the beautiful island of Jersey his appreciation of the natural world and the many architecturally significant buildings on the Ashton Estate has never waned – which is self evident by the hard work and dedication he and his UK management company OHL Limited do to ensure that the CDL Sector of Ashton Estate and Ashton Wold remains an oasis of natural flora and fauna dotted with magnificent unique buildings.
