Glenwood – Sorrento

The estate of Glenwood Park was established on three grants that were between the late 1840s and 1853 purchased by John Foreman Staff. Staff and his wife Mary sold the properties to their son James Samuel Staff in 1853. He immediately fenced some of the boundaries, named the property “Norfolk Vale” and built a house. James Staff lived on this land, developing orchards and a dairy herd, until he sold it in 1882 to his son-in-law David Robert Howard. image
