| Maud's Book of HousesOne of the major activities for this year's annual Heritage Festival week was a milestone book launch for long-time Wentworth resident and historical society stalwart, Maud Crang. The book, in A4 format and entitled 'Maud's Book of Houses: 19th Century Houses in Wentworth', is a detailed study of the town's remarkable architecture and some of the town's oldest houses and their history. In the introduction, Miss Crang points out that many of the featured buildings are little changed, but others have undergone major or many facelifts over the years and bear little resemblance to their original selves. Featured buildings include the Lock House, many of the homes in Cadell Street facing the Junction, Rendelsham House, the old Customs House, the Police Station and the The Gaol House. The book sells for $10, with $4 postage and handling. Cheques should be made out to the Wentworth Historical Society. Book sale enquiries should be directed to Leanne Watmuff on email: or c/o of the Wentworth Library, PO Box 81, Wentworth, NSW, 2648. |
