Statement of Significance


Grasmere has high local significance as an example of the dairy farms on large allotments built for Berwick pioneer families. The farm homestead is built around an early c1856 section made from handmade bricks laid on boulders and has a number of intact outbuildings including an old 1920s milking shed, pre-1920s stables, brick creamery and a large well. Grasmere has associations with two district pioneers, J. Inglis, the namer of the property and its first owner, and the Hon. James Buchanan, MLC, the second owner. His descendants, the Beaumonts, still own the property.
