Statement of Significance
Trentholme is one of many residences on the Farmer's property. The site signifies the significant contribution the Farmer family has made to the Boddington locality.
Physical Description
The house has now been demolished. A relation of the former Trentholme resident has built a new home on top of the site. Original gates and trees surrounding the home have remained.
Before the structure was demolished, it was deteriorating and
had become overgrown with trees.
History
The building of Trentholme was intended for teachers of the Hotham River school. Builder, Jack Vagg, built the residence for Arthur Thomas Shape and his wife, who were both teachers at the Hotham River and Marradong schools. Sharpe bought the land from the Farmer Family. Farmer's Crossing proved helpful when transporting building materials to the site.
The name of the property was Sharpe's former town in England.
Mather and Harry Farmer later bought the house after the Hotham River School was closed.
