Merton, Heritage farm and residence in Denman, Australia.
The Merton complex includes a cottage from 1825 and a Victorian Filigree homestead, positioned along Jerrys Plains Road in Muswellbrook Shire.
Commander William Ogilvie, who served under Lord Nelson at Copenhagen, established Merton in 1825 and named it after Nelson's residence in Surrey.
The property developed into the first village center of Upper Hunter Valley, incorporating a courthouse, church, school, and cemetery in its surroundings.
The State Heritage Register protects Merton through legislation, with Heritage NSW managing its preservation and documentation within the New South Wales database.
The White family transformed Merton into a notable horse breeding establishment, preparing the property for a royal visit from the Prince of Wales in 1910.
