Kirkham, New South Wales
Kirkham is a suburb of the Macarthur Region of Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia in Camden Council. The suburb is largely undeveloped at present and possibly will remain so since much of it is on low-lying flood-prone land.
==History==
The area now known as Kirkham was originally home to the Muringong, southernmost of the Darug people. In 1805 John Macarthur established his property at Camden where he raised merino sheep. In 1810, explorer John Oxley was granted nearby, which he named ''Kirkham''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The History of Camden )〕
Kirkham has figured prominently in the 2013 TV series A Place to Call Home. The fictional house known as ''Ash Park'' is actually a property called Camelot, which is situated on Oxley's old property at Kirkham. Oxley's original home was called ''Kirkham'', after his birthplace in Yorkshire. The stables are all that remain.
''Camelot'' was designed by the Canadian-born architect John Horbury Hunt for James White, New South Wales politician and great-uncle of Patrick White. It was built circa 1888, on the site of Oxley's old Kirkham Mill, and partly on its foundations. It was originally called ''Kirkham''. The name was changed to ''Camelot'' by a new owner, Frances Faithful-Anderson, in 1900. When she saw the house, she was reminded of lines in Tennyson's poem The Lady of Shallot, which make a reference to Camelot.〔(A Place to Call Home )〕 The house is heritage-listed at the state and federal level.〔(State Heritage Register )〕〔The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company (1981) p.2/17〕
