Book Description

Secondhand. As new condition.

The history of the Morgan family of Bardeen, Irishtown, Northam.

Bardeen was allocated as an original land grant to Abraham Morgan in 1836. When Abraham Morgan died in 1871 he was succeeded by William John (1845-1924). After William’s death Bardeen was divided into two, the Bardeen Homestead block and another portion called Lynwood.

In the lead up to WWI, when Northam prepared for the war efforts, annual camps for the infantry and light horse troops were held at Katrine and Bardeen.

The Morgans have been influential in the development of the Katrine and Irishtown district over the years. Abraham Morgan was one of the builders of St Saviour’s Church at Katrine in 1862. (State Heritage Office)
