The Grange and Macquarie Plains Cemetery, Homestead and cemetery in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia

The Grange and Macquarie Plains Cemetery is a single-storey Georgian homestead and its associated burial ground at 3249 O'Connell Road, Bathurst. John West built the farmhouse from 1830 to 1836, probably with convict labour, and it remains largely unaltered from that construction. The Bathurst-O'Connell Road has bisected the property since 1860.

Governor Macquarie granted 600 acres each to free settler brothers Thomas and John West in 1821; John established The Grange, while Thomas built Westham to the east. The original farmhouse was built by John West from 1830 to 1836, probably with convict labour. The property was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 15 March 2013.

The Grange takes its name from John West's 1821 grant of 600 acres; his brother Thomas built Westham to the east. The cemetery is the Macquarie Plains burial ground beside the homestead, where the West family and neighbouring settlers were buried. The surviving headstones record those pastoral families.

The site is at 3249 O'Connell Road, on the Bathurst-O'Connell Road that has cut through the Grange property since 1860. The homestead and cemetery stand together on the rural holding outside Bathurst. Ground across the property is uneven, so sturdy footwear helps when walking between the house and the graves.

The Grange is largely unaltered from its original construction, making it a rare intact survivor among the early Bathurst homesteads; its neighbour Westham, built by John West's brother Thomas, has changed more. The current Bathurst-O'Connell Road has cut through the property since 1860.
