  • Upper Riccarton Cemetery 2007 1
    St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton, is the graveyard of owners and trainers of the great horses of the racing and trotting worlds. People buried here have been in charge of horses which have won the A. J. C. Derby, the V.R.C. Derby, the Oaks, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Auckland Cup (both codes), New Zealand Cup (both codes) and Wellington Cup. Area 1 Row A Robert John Witty. Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.

  • What's Yours Is Mine and Mine Is Yours Synergy in Joint-Use Libraries
    What’s Yours is Mine and Mine is Yours Synergy in Joint-Use Libraries Paula Eskett School Library Manager Riccarton High School [email protected] Andrew Jefferson Head of Technology Riccarton High School [email protected] Joan Simpson Community Librarian Christchurch City Libraries [email protected] Abstract New Zealand’s first joint-use urban community and secondary school library opened in Christchurch on 23 January 2006. The Upper Riccarton Community and School Library was purpose built by the Christchurch City Council in partnership with Riccarton High School, to serve a multi-cultural local community of 30,000 and the 1,000 strong school population as an integrated learning, information and leisure facility. Together, the partnership has created an integrated library providing the two communities access to resources, learning facilities and expertise that support the needs of both groups while promoting life long learning to all. The library has a collection of 65,000 items (20,000 of which are brand new) and boasts a state-of-the-art 240 m2 learning centre, a café with indoor/outdoor seating, and is furnished with bright funky lounge furniture throughout. This paper looks behind-the-scenes at a working joint-use library and at the processes that created the reality. It discusses what needs to be thought out prior to the building foundations being laid, with communication a key to a successful outcome in a project of this nature. Highlights, statistics, pitfalls for the unwary which can be avoided, and critical success factors will be revealed. Customer feedback will be used to demonstrate the success of this facility and the exciting future possibilities.
