FairCyril Hamilton Corby Hillary (1889-1968) was a keen amateur gardener and the President of the National Rose Society of Western Australia.He was a senior civil servant and had served with distinction during World War I as a Captain in the 44th battalion, receiving a Military Medal and being Mentioned in Despatches.This residence was built for Hillary and his wife Daisy in 1949 to a design by architect F. G. B. Hawkins and is presumed to have been built by Thomas Lees. The name Leigham Court originates with the London Estate of the same name developed from 1891.The garden surrounding the residence was a showpiece and was opened regularly for public inspections with the funds raised at these events going towards charities.
