Deddington is a small farming district south of Evandale, formerly known as Mills Plains. Its best-known historical association is with landscape painter John Glover and his nearby property, Patterdale.
Chapel and burial place
The small chapel dates from the 1840s and Glover is buried in its grounds. Confirm current access and services before visiting, and treat church and cemetery ground respectfully.
Glover’s landscape
Patterdale and surrounding country informed significant paintings, but the artistic record also reflects a colonist’s view of Aboriginal Country. Private farms are not open-air galleries.
Visit as a quiet district
There are few visitor services and narrow rural roads. Connect Deddington with Evandale, Longford or the Northern Midlands.
