From the archives: Sharpe family, c.1885, Miss Traill’s House, Bathurst.

Now a cherished house museum, Miss Traill’s House has a story spanning more than 180 years. Built in the mid-1800s by Yorkshire-born Reverend Thomas Sharpe for his family (pictured), the property later served as a girls’ school before becoming a private residence. In 1937, it was purchased by Ida Traill, its final resident, who bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust (NSW) in October of 1976.

To celebrate 50 years of caring for this beautiful property, Miss Traill's House is hosting a special evening soirée - and you're invited.

Enjoy live classical music, w**e and refreshments in the seasonal garden bursting with heritage roses and plantings, and guided tours showcasing highlights from the remarkable collection of art, ceramics and furniture.

Vale Richard Morecroft

The National Trust (NSW) extends its deepest condolences on the passing of Richard Morecroft.

A talented broadcaster, presenter and news anchor, Richard was a warm and familiar presence in homes across New South Wales as the anchor of ABC's 7pm News from 1983 to 2002.

A passionate advocate for the environment and the arts, Richard generously gave his time and support to many. The National Trust is grateful for his invaluable contribution over the years.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Have your say: Edgecliff Woollahra Precinct State-led Rezoning Proposal

The National Trust (NSW) holds major concerns for the impacts of a NSW Government rezoning proposal that proposes over 9,000 new homes with towers of up to 34 stories around Edgecliff and 32 stories around Woollahra Stations.

We are not convinced that the “retention and integration of local heritage items into the surrounding areas” is at all sensitive, and will be submitting an objection to the proposal. We encourage our members and supporters to review the proposal and make comment before the close of the exhibition period on 7 October 2026.
