The Fidler/Worrell House is located at 21196 Crush Crescent. It is most significant for the Worrell family history as settlers to Langley as far back as the 1880’s. They were one of the original farming families to Milner and established one of the first registered Holstein herds in the province.

Francis Vanstone Worrell and his wife Maria Worrell (nee Oakes) moved their family to the 100-acre parcel of land being sold by the Hudson Bay Company in the 1900’s. In 1912, at a time when local landowners were encouraged to sell off pieces of their land for housing, they sold a 5-acre portion to Joseph Fidler who built the house in 1913. After some years, the land went back to the Worrell family, and in 1924 Francis’s son George Worrell and his new wife Margaret Worrell (nee Smith) moved in.

The Fidler/Worrell House has seen some updates over the years and the adjacent dairy barn was built around 1938-1939 as an outbuilding for the working farm. The Fidler/Worrell House, although not part of the original homestead, has been home to many generations of Worrell descendants.

It is not only recognized for its charming and historic design, but also the setting on the hill surrounded by farmland, and stunning mountain views.
