Title'Ravensthorpe'Photo Number001437Date1890-1900Description'Ravensthorpe' was built in 1893 by Dr Arthur Wigley Bateman, a local physician. His surgery was situated at the eastern side of the home. In 1921, the home was occupied by John Raftery and his wife, Mary (nee: Bateman).
The Neaves family purchased 'Ravensthorpe' in 1967. By that time the property was in a bad state of repair. The Neaves' replaced the roof, verandahs, installed marble fireplaces, and a new driveway. All of the doors in the home were replaced and the stables were rebuilt. A pool and tennis courts were added (Information thanks to Graham Neaves).PlaceRavensthorpeLocationAlbion ParkDonorMayo, Lexie
