Heritage
St. Werburgh's Chapel A trip to Mount Barker would not be complete without visiting the historic St Werburgh’s Chapel. Built in 1873 by George Edward Egerton-Warburton this serene heritage icon was made of pug and clay dug from a nearby hole. A carpenter from Albany Mr Blechynden carried out the exquisite woodwork probably using sheoak from near Albany and locally sourced jarrah. There are 32 religious buildings dedicated to St. Werburgh’s, 29 are located in England, one in Zimbabwe, one in Ireland and the other just 12 minutes from Mount Barker’s town centre. Services, weddings and christenings have all been held by candlelight as the chapel has never had power.
The Old Police Station The Old Police Station built by convict labour in 1868, consolidates much of Mount Barker’s heritage in one convenient location.
Surrounded by magnificent lawns and gardens, the Plantagenet Historical Society opened the Cottage as a museum in 1968, furnishing it with artifacts donated by residents of the Shire. In 1971 the Pioneer Room was built to display more artefacts and in 1985 and 1987 the cottage and stables were restored.
At the Museum there are sheds full of old machinery with restored wagons also on display. A house built in the 1870’s from hand-split wooden slabs has been erected nearby.
