Father’s Day fair at Sydney Seymour Cottage, Sunday 4 September 2022

Our friends at the Romsey and Lancefield Districts Historical Society are celebrating spring by holding a Father’s Day family fair at Sydney Seymour Cottage, 20 Palmer Street, Romsey on Sunday, 4 September 2022, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

There will be music, wine, and food and two interesting speakers discussing the history of this property:
- Fiona Webber of John Patrick Landscape Architects on the historic gardens, and
- Guy Murphy of Bryce Raworth Conservation and Heritage on the history of the cottage.
Guy and Fiona have recently completed the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for Sydney Seymor Cottage, which was funded by the Victorian Government Living Heritage Grants Program.

Sydney Seymor Cottage is constructed in the early 1850’s with a local hardwood timber post and beam frame, uniquely infilled with pairs of ‘Singapore Cottage’ meranti doors. It is PB52 on our list of portable buildings.
