History

In 1832 the Nardie grants were taken up by James Lloyd, the proprietor of the 'Star and Garter' in Fremantle. When Lloyd was looking for a long term lease on Nardie, Charles Harper took it in. Formerly a London solicitor, Harper married Lionel Lukin's sister, Julia, 1837 and sailed for the colony. He was the first to be ordained by the Anglican Church in the Swan River Colony, becoming Reverend Charles Harper and the minister for Toodyay in 1849. The first burial in Nardie Cemetery was Harper's young daughter in about 1840. Nardie Cemetery was gazetted in 1857.
