The property is also known as Nubrigyn, Nubrygin, Nubrygan, Nubriggan, Newbriggan, Nubrygar, Aubrygan, Lubrygyn, Lubrycan, Yelubrygyn, Eulubrigyn 'Yulubragin, Yullubirgen (Wiradjuri)'and Lubrygee.

[1] The locality of Nubrygyn was established in the period 1823–1830, on the original road from Bathurst to the Wellington Convict farm, and also on route from Molong to Ironbark (now Stuart Town).

[1] Caroline Brazier née Coleman was born at Parramatta in 1829, but she is quoted as having witnessed a severe flood around 1842 that washed away many of the fruit trees brought from England and planted by Charles Wray Finch at Nubrygyn,[8] and was therefore living in the district by this time.

[9] After Caroline's death the shingle roof was replaced (or covered) in corrugated iron and family members continued to live in it until about 30 years ago.

[1] A good description of Nubrygyn Inn was written in an article published in the Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser (1877, 21 April:7) by an "old" correspondent travelling from Mudgee to Molong:[1] "... arrive at Nubrygyn, a transition country, with the slaty shales and quartz leaders of the diggings, combined with the alluvial flats and low, grassy ridges of a farming country.

There are many fine farms, and a good inn, which has been kept by Mr Brazier for about a quarter of a century; it is a pise building, the front verandah is covered by a mass of ivy, grapevines and jasmine, the garden, besides flowers contains various and numerous fruit trees, so that in their season peaches, apricots, plums, quinces, cherries, medlars, walnut and gooseberries, are obtainable and on his neighbouring farm a profusion of melons and strawberries.

As we are entering on the limestone district, springs are numerous, and Nubrygyn Creek is never dry; this certainty of water has attracted many travelling stock and the grass has been eaten off to the roots.

"[1] Another description (The Empire 1874, 1 Jan:3) describes the inn garden and farm:[1] "Nubrygyn was once a village of some importance, having boasted a public school, a store, a blacksmiths shop, and a hotel; but of these establishments, only one, the latter, now remains.

The village is now the exclusive property of Mr William Brazier, who in conjunction with his hotel business, manages a very extensive farm, and has one of the most beautiful and flourishing flower gardens and orchards in the locality.

"Stand and Deliver" are the famous words Ben Hall is known to have uttered when he took up a life of bushranging and became part of Australian folklore, he and his various mates travelling the highways around the goldfields area of NSW from Bathurst to Forbes, south to Gundagai and east to Goulburn.

[1] Nubrygyn remained a thriving hub for travellers and stock for many years due to the permanent water in the creek and the direct route between Bathurst and Wellington.

William Brazier died while being treated for an illness in a Sydney hospital in 1882 and his remains were bought all the way home by train for burial on the family property in the little cemetery he had created on the death of his two young children in 1854.

Many of the other families buried in the cemetery had a relationship of some kind with the Braziers, who in effect embraced their small community and provided a burial place close by.

With funding provided by Wellington Council, a granite stone was erected, engraved with the names and dates of all persons known to be buried there (Australian Cemeteries Index).

[1] It is understood that a rear accommodation wing was removed from the North West corner of the building in the early 1900s and part of the stone foundation remains to indicate the extent of the rooms.

The small cemetery has an outlook across rural hills and is on a rise almost at the highest point of the adjacent land, surrounded by paddocks and looking west about 500m to the Nubrygyn Creek.

Their headstone shows signs of being weather worn but is structurally sound, and although the inscription is hard to read the following was legible "died of measles" "Happy the babe who privileged by fate, to shorter labourer and lighter weight, received but yesterday the gift of breath, ordered tomorrow to return to death".

There is also a polished black granite memorial stone commemorating the total of 58 people buried in the cemetery, recently installed by the Nubrygyn History Group, including members of the Brazier family.

The stone foundation to the perimeter is generally sound; the intervening sleeper walls have suffered from unrestrained stormwater running from the high rear ground through the cellar.

[1] As at 9 February 2016, the site of Nubrygyn Inn and Cemetery is of state significance for its role in the earliest frontier expansion beyond Bathurst into the Central West.

The "halting place" utilised permanent water in the adjacent Nubrygyn Creek and a surviving gum tree where convicts were chained while resting.

Nubrygyn Inn and Cemetery is of state significance as a rare surviving example in the Central West of an 1840s mud-brick building that retains relatively intact original fabric and features.

[1] Nubrygyn Inn and Cemetery is of state significance because of the unusually long and continuous occupation of the Brazier family for at least 165 years, demonstrating strong attachment to their adopted land and detailed insight into the history of a free settler family and their relations with wealthy benefactors, other settlers and former convicts, and their role in expansion of the pastoral and farming industries into the Wellington Valley.

The Nubrygyn Inn therefore contributes to the state significance story of Ben Hall, with typical pattern of hold-up, hostage-taking, "respect" for the ordinary people, horse stealing, and taunting the police.

From the 1840s the Nubrygyn Inn played an important role in providing a wayside stop after the long and difficult time spent on the road travelling between Bathurst and Wellington.

Nubrygyn Inn and Cemetery contribute to the significance of the SHR-listed Ben Hall Sites which are important elements in the construction of the Australian identity, the pre-Federation nationalist sentiment, and the public interest in bushranging.

The integrity of the inn's mud-brick envelope, stone foundations and cellar, mortar, plaster, limewash, wooden battens and shingles, and windows makes it a significant example of this type of vernacular building.

The construction of Nubrygyn Inn, both as a family home and as a rest stop for travellers, demonstrates skill in design and utilisation of locally available materials and workmanship, and resourceful detailing, all combining to provide a distinctive aesthetic achievement.

[1] The unusually long and continuous occupation of the Nubrygyn Inn and Cemetery by the Brazier family is of state significance, demonstrating a strong attachment to their adopted land.

The cemetery documents Brazier family history and their social networks with neighbours and workers, and also has wider significance as a reflection of the population health and social bonds in a small rural community of the mid to late 1800s, immigration patterns, convict history, ways of life and death and as documentary evidence of the prosperity and hardships of early settlement in the Central West.
