History


Harrington Grove was originally part of 1620 acres granted to Edward Lord by Governor Macquarie in 1815. He called this property Orielton after the Orielton estate in Pembroke, Wales, that the Lord family had previously inherited.
The neighbouring property, Harrington Park, was part of a 2,000 acre property granted to trader Captain William Douglas Campbell as compensation for the loss of his snow Harrington which was seized by convicts, from its anchorage in Sydney Harbour, on the evening of 15 May 1808. In March 1809, His Majesty’s Ship Dedaigneuse fell in with the Harrington near Manila, in the Philippines, and after a short engagement the vessel was driven on shore and totally destroyed. Campbell called the land Harrington Park in remembrance of his vessel.
In 1944, Sir Warwick Oswald Fairfax (at that time Director of John Fairfax Ltd) bought both properties from Arthur and Elaine Swan. Until 1976, Fairfax ran a Poll Hereford stud where he bred many show winning champions.
As part of the purchase, Sir Warwick inherited the Orielton Homestead, a 26-room, state heritage-significant property that had a colourful past across almost two centuries, under 13 owners. In 2018, a three-year restoration of the homestead was completed by the development company for the Lady Mary Fairfax Estate, Harrington Estates.
