Clover Cottage was built by Jack Haines in 1875 for the Wheatley family. Peter Wheatley arrived from Ireland in 1862 and was for a time associated with the Lefroys of Karri Hill. Wheatley was one of a group of early pioneers who settled in a community on the Warren River just north of the Karri forest. The others were Arthur Clarke (Fern Hollow), John Mottram (Rockbridge) and Walter Blechynden. 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. Wheatley was granted the original pastoral license for the Clover Cottage property in 1874 and the residence was built by the following year. The Wheatleys had 14 children.
