Tucked secretively away under the Oak Trees as you enter Richmond.
Oak Lodge, built c1831 is a Georgian sandstone house of fine proportions with a beautiful front doorcase and fanlight. Managed by the Coal River Historical Society, it features furnished interiors, an exhibition on Richmond’s early European settlement together with interpretation of its roles as a school and residence for a magistrate, a medico (Dr William Clarke, resident 1909-1947) and the three artistic Horsfall sisters.
Garden: Oak Lodge’s delightful garden is laid out within a 19th century cobble-stone service yard between the house and its original outbuildings.
