  • Swanbourne History Trail
    Swanbourne History Trail BACKGROUND TO THE VILLAGE The village of Swanbourne can trace its roots back to Anglo- Saxon times. The first mention of ‘Suanaburna’ comes in a document of 792 relating to the granting by King Offa of the parishes of Winslow, Granborough and Little Horwood for the establishment of St. Alban’s Abbey. The name probably means ‘peasant’s brook’, and so originally referred to the stream which flows along the western border of the parish, rather than the village itself. At the time of the Doomsday Book in 1086, the parish was divided between 5 landholders, although one of these was extremely small. One of the major landholders was King William (The Bastard or Conqueror) who took over land belonging to King Harold. William’s half-brother the Count of Mortain also held land, and the other two major landholders were Walter Giffard and William, son of Ansculf. In 1206, much of the village lands were granted to Woburn Abbey, but following Henry VIII’s dissolution of the Abbey in 1538, the land and Overlordship of the Manor of Swanbourne was sold on to the Fortescues, then the Adams, then the Deverells and finally the Fremantles. This trail starts from The Betsey Wynne public house which was opened in July 2006. The pub takes its name from Betsey Fremantle (nee Wynne), wife of Thomas Fremantle, who was a captain in the Royal Navy and a close friend of Admiral Nelson. Thomas and Betsey, together with their new-born son, also called Thomas, moved to Swanbourne in 1798.

It forms part of the Accessible Lifelong Learning (ALL) Project, a joint partnership between Macquarie University and the State Library of New South Wales. Journeys in Time is designed to provide scholarly access to primary source texts describing early colonial life in Australia. It also seeks to commemorate some of the tangible links between Macquarie University and its namesake, Lachlan Macquarie, the fifth governor of the colony of New South Wales (1810-1822).

  • 89 Chapter 3 the Female Orphan School and Its
    89 CHAPTER 3 THE FEMALE ORPHAN SCHOOL AND ITS OPERATION DURING MACQUARIE’S GOVERNORSHIP The situation in the colony facing the incoming fifth Governor, was one which would require strong leadership to restore order. We shall be examining Lachlan Macquarie’s background, and also his involvement with the Female Orphan School. The part his wife Mrs Elizabeth Macquarie was to play in that institution will also engage our attention, as well as her background, her strong personality, and her leadership role as Patroness of the School. When a decision was made to relocate the School from Sydney to Arthur’s Hill, Parramatta we shall consider the Rev. Marsden’s activity in overseeing the construction. The problems he encountered in the construction will be discussed as well as the on-going inadequacies of the buildings. The enlargement of the Committee by the re-instatement of former members; by the nomination of the wives of prominent men; and by the inclusion of other gentlemen will be discussed, as well as the numerous deliberations which engaged the Committee’s attention. Changes in staff of Masters and Matrons were made in this period, and the contribution made by these people who were charged with the day-to- day running of the School will be noted. The change in the monitorial system of the School will be mentioned and the punishment meted out to one of the girls will be examined. Finally an argument linking Governor Macquarie’s humane approach to emancipists to his policies relating to the Orphan Schools, will be made in this chapter.

  • No. 251 Mr Barry Corr
    Submission No 251 INQUIRY INTO WINDSOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT Name: Mr Barry Corr Date received: 26 January 2018 I am an Aboriginal person living in the Hawkesbury. I am a member of the RMS Aboriginal stakeholders Group for the refurbishment of Thompson Square. I am writing to register my concerns with the ways in which the history of Thompson Square is being interpreted, not just by RMS, but by all parties. I am concerned that all parties are engaged in mythologising Thompson Square as a symbol of Georgian and Victorian heritage and completely ignoring that it was for many years a military base for military operations against Aboriginal people. There is a perception that Thompson Square that there was a civic square in Windsor from 1795. This distortion of historical fact is necessary to the argument that Thompson Square is a foundation of Australian egalitarianism and identity. I have not yet found any evidence to support this claim, particularly in the Strategic Conservation Management Plan, Volume 1: Site Identification, Historical Background and Heritage Status, that there was a civic square in Windsor from 1795.12 On page 50 the SCMP claims that “Macquarie recognised that there was already an informal civic square in existence in Windsor.” Macquarie did no such thing. In naming the square as Thompson Square, Macquarie described it as the “Government Garden or Domain”.3 James Meehan’s 1812 survey of Windsor shows the content of this government domain: the Church and School House; the granary and store; the Government House; and the Military Barracks.4 The challenge to “revealing the significance of heritage places” is that in the Hawkesbury heritage has been manipulated to create and maintain a myth and discourse of peaceful settlement in which Aboriginal people simply disappeared not just from the place but also from the records.

  • B. Windsor Heritage Walk – the Peninsula Precinct
    B. WINDSOR HERITAGE WALK – THE PENINSULA PRECINCT 2 km walk 1 hour Map nos. 11 – 24 Leaving the Thompson Square precinct, from the intersection of George and Bridge Streets, walk down Bridge Street towards the Green Hills Burial Ground. This is the first location on the walk, which takes you to the Peninsula area. The site of early land grants, farms established 1794-1798, and many significant public buildings of the Colonial era, this area was known as The Peninsula by 1802. The early grants on the Peninsula were subdivided into suburban lots and offered for sale by Laban White in 1842. The area today includes a variety of housing styles ranging from Victorian cottages and inter-war bungalows to modern houses all of which contribute to the unique character of the streetscape. Within this precinct John Tebbutt also built several observatories from which he made several important astronomical discoveries. The lower flood-prone land has been taken up by turf farms and on the riverbank Governor Phillip Park is home to the Upper Hawkesbury Power Boat Clubhouse which was formed in 1938. Please note that this brochure includes many privately owned buildings which are not open for public inspection and may be viewed from the public street only. 11. Green Hills Burial Ground From the early 1800s until Governor Macquarie proclaimed the new burial ground in 1811, (now the cemetery surrounding St Matthews Anglican Church, Windsor), the citizens of Green Hills were buried on the bank of South Creek or on their farms. A memorial was unveiled in March 1999 dedicated to those early settlers who were buried near this site.

This analysis has implications for our present day reading of Australian history and the ongoing debate over recognition of the so-called Forgotten War (Australian Aboriginal War), especially in light of the ANZAC and World War I centennial commemorations of 2015-18. The use of unpublished archival resources is highlighted in revealing a detailed and localised picture of events in New South Wales during 1816. The rediscovery and reinterpretation of the facts behind this historic episode reveals the ever-evolving history of Australia and the moving stories which are an important part of that history.
