Statement of Significance

In 1752 Groote Post was already one of the large stand most important farms in the vicinity of Malmesbury. The impressive homestead and outbuildings date from the early nineteenth century. From 1814 to 1827 it was the country house of Lord Charles Somerset. The farm was divided into seven portions in 1827, after which the portion with the main homestead thereon, named Groote Post, belonged to several well known families such as the Versters and the Duckitts.
