Details: Font Hill, one of Maitland s earliest homes. This residence dates back to 1836. Now a property of 176 acres, Font Hill was formerly a portion of a 2000-acre wheat grant, in 1828, to a Peninsular veteran, one Captain McGilvray. who disposed of the estate almost immediately, so that the title deeds were made out, directly, to Captain Emmanuel Hungerford, an Irish man of the Cork Militia. Most of the ground was a ti-tree swamp, but with the inordinate patience and perseverance that characterised the pioneers, large tracts of land were cleared and planted. In the early days ground was turned by wooden ploughs, either manipulated by hand or drawn by bullock teams. Wheat was planted by Captain Hungerford. and for some years the crops flourished. Then appeared the menace of all early wheat growing experiments - rust - and the whole venture failed. Until rust set in 1848 wheat was a staple industry in the Maitland district, several large flour mills were established in connection with this. At Morpeth there still stands (1941), right on the river s edge near the old wharf the remains of the old flour mill erected by one of that town s pioneers Mr. S. D. Portus. Captain Hungerford constructed a residence (in 1828) of sandstone, procured from Stoney Creek, near the present railway station of Farley. The work was done by convict labour. In deed, there was no other to be secured at that time. This residence called Farlev Homestead after the Captain s old home, Farley Castle, was one of the earliest homesteads ever built in the district. Farley Homestead was an Imposing English mansion of two storeys, securely placed above the swamps and out of flood reach. Eventually the old place had to be pulled down, in 1870. Wood of insufficient seasoning had been used for the window supports, and other portions. This timber warped, causing cracks in the walls, notwithstanding their thickness and apparent strength. From its masonry a new building of one storey was erected alongside the original site. Font Hill homestead, built In 1838. for John, one of the seven sons of Captain Hungerford. stands solid and solitary like a sentinel overlooking the valley farms and the swamps Its stone walls are 18 inches to two feet in thickness, and the rooms are very lofty -a great contrast to most modern houses. Cedar doors are two inches thick, and still fit as snugly as ever. Wood work throughout is practically all still the original cedar. In the flooring of the house the nails are square-headed, such as were made by hand in the convict days. Fireplaces are all cut into the solid masonry for a depth of about two feet where the chimneys are built forward into the rooms. Fair-sized logs can be burned in these recesses, and the warmth is well distributed. Down some deep stone steps at the rear of the residence, and under an arch almost flat, one passes to some cell-like quarters, where the convict labourers are supposed to have been housed. Under the house, following the same plan of construction through out. are six rooms or cells with a sentry-march seventy feet in length by twelve feet wide and eight feet high, around it, and a passageway beneath the hall all equal in dimensions with the upper rooms. A trap-door connecting the upper and lower halls is supposed to have been used for passing food below to the convicts. Each of the cells has but one window, small, and with bars instead of glass. Corresponding with each of these inner windows is a further window in the outer wall that encloses the sentry-walk. Fireplaces are set in these cells in the same positions as in the living- rooms above, prob ably for support. A couple of irons affixed to one of the ceilings suggests the confinement cell where refractory workers were chained. Some of the original grant was disposed of by the Captain for the ridiculously small sum of 5/ an acre. Someone asked the Hungerfords to sell a piece of the poorest or worst land, for a poultry farm. Instead, the purchaser sank a shaft and began to work out a coal seam. It was quite good coal - the lower layer best of all.
