Statement of Significance

The building is significant as the farmhouse of a Homestead Block settler, T.H. Parsons in the early years of this century on a farm in the forest, in the isolated settlement selected in the 1870's on the Upper Warren River, just over 20n kms south east of Manjimup. It was associated with the pioneer .

Physical Description

The settlers chose a section of good country at the confluence from south, ease and north of several tributaries of the Warren River before it passed through the rugged country between Rooney's Bridge and Pemberton. The name derives from the Parish Church of St Erney, Landrake, Cornwall.
The house stands on the north bank of a tree lined creek - a bridge leads to the farm buildings. By 1910 three rooms had been built with substantial pise walls, with a verandah and entrance on the north, and skillion rooms on the south. The latter were replace in 1945 by a large timber extension of four rooms with verandah on the east, toilet and bedroom and a glass enclosed verandah on the west - walls of painted, dressed jarrah lining and ceiling of hardboard sheets. This extension consisted of a cottage, probably first constructed about 1930, from an abandoned Northcliff Group Settlement block.
