"Camelot" stands on the site of explorer John Oxley's Kirkham Mill. The original grant was made in 1810 and extended in 1815. It is constructed from brick and has a romantic silhouette of turrets, chimney stacks, gables, arched verandas and projecting bays. "Camelot" was reportedly built with the winnings from "Chester", a racehorse which won the Melbourne Cup in 1877, owned by James White. The house was owned later on by the Faithfull-Anderson family. Camelot also has a fine brick stable with arched wooden ribbing, a brick smokehouse and an octagonal aviary. Cobbitty Village

The official opening of the park was held on 10 October 1906.The original fence is still standing and the tender called for its construction required it to be ‘sheep proof'. The park is a small part of John Macarthur's last grant, covering 5,400 acres and granted to him in 1825, only 8 years before his death, when the whole Estate was about 33,000 acres. The park was a gift to the people of Camden by the last Elizabeth Macarthur-Onslow, a grand daughter of John Macarthur. In accepting the gift, the Council of the day decided to name the area ‘Macarthur Park' in honour of James Macarthur, the donor's father. The gift was made on 8 June 1905. Studley Park House

The building was originally two properties. The first grant was to William Parrott on 1 January 1810, the second to John Condron on 25 August 1812. In 1888 the combined properties were sold to William Charles Payne who commissioned the building of Studley Park House. Built in the High Victorian style it was also known as "Payne's Folly". Payne sold the house to its architect, Francis Buckle, in 1891 and Buckle sold it in 1902 to Dr. Henry Oliver. Studley Park House became Camden Grammar School until 1933 when the property was sold to Arthur Gregory, a keen golfer who commissioned the construction of the golf course. In WW2 the Dept. of Defence took over the property and trained the newly formed Women's Royal Australian Army Corps at the house. Today Camden Golf Club owns and is restoring this lovely house.

Charles Cowper built "Wivenhoe" on the 600 acres granted to his father Rev. William Cowper in 1812, named after his wife's (Eliza Sutton) home in England. The house was completed in 1838 and its design has been attributed to Colonial Architect John Verge. By 1873 "Wivenhoe" had been increased in area to approx. 950 acres and had an extensive vineyard and beautifully landscaped grounds. The property was purchased at this time by H.A. Thomas and remained in the family until the death of his widow in 1903 when it passed to Captain Oswald Watt. In 1910 it was sold by Captain Oswald Watt to the Catholic Church for 7000 pounds and became Mater Dei Orphanage. Back to Top |
