History

This is one of the four original homesteads which constituted the Upper
Warren Settlement which was established in the late eighteen seventies
and early eighteen eighties. The house was built by Arthur Levin Clarke,
who came from Harvey and married Emma Giblett of Balbarrup in 1875.
He engaged a ticket-of-leave builder, Jack Haynes (Haines), to make
bricks and to construct a house on Nelson Location 74 (40 acres) which
was originally taken up by John Mottram of Manjimup. Clarke
commenced farming on a small clearing surrounded by the bush where
they pastured their cattle. The other early pioneers in the area were
Blechynden, Mottram and Wheatley. The four families were responsible
for the building of nearby St Mark’s Anglican Church which was also
used as a school for the local children between 1891 and 1920. Jack
Haynes built the church, as well as Fern Hollow, Clover Cottage and
Dingup Church.
Since 1940 the Young family has owned the property, which is locally
known as Young’s place.
