Description | Smith records Mr Onesiphorus Phaire as resident at Grange, Ovens, in 1750. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to it as the seat of Mr. Whyte. This house was the home of the Hawkes family in the 19th century, occupied by J. Hawkes in 1814 and 1837 and by John Hawkes in the early 1850s, when the house was valued at £12 and held from Sir John Walsh. A house is still extant at the site. |
