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.

    Woolston / Heathcote Cemetery Tour A colleague writes of Decra Art, principal sponsor of this tour: In 2000 I commissioned Decra Art to make a bronze plaque to mark a family reunion. While the plaque was expensive, the quality of workmanship was excellent and the service helpful and prompt. When I said that the site was not in Christchurch, they advised on packaging and installation and provided information to be sent to the appropriate local authority. I would certainly suggest that anyone seeking a permanent memorial approach Decra Art for advice and a quotation. Decra Art Ltd.

  • St Peter's Church
    DISTRICT PLAN – LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ST PETER’S CHURCH, - 24 MAIN SOUTH ROAD; PART OF 25, 25A YALDHURST ROAD, CHRISTCHURCH St Peter’s Church is western Christchurch's original Anglican Church. Consecrated in 1858 it was the second church to be consecrated by Bishop Harper, after he arrived in Canterbury in 1857. In 1852 the then vicar of St Michael's, Archdeacon Mathias, gifted twenty acres for the establishment of a church. It was not until 1857 however that the Parish of Riccarton was defined, a first vicar appointed, and a church building begun. The first vicar, Rev. Croasdaile Bowen, was ordained by Bishop Harper in 1857 in his first ordination for the new diocese of Canterbury. Bowen's new parish initially covered the entire western part of Christchurch and its hinterland, and was later enlarged to include Governors Bay and Little River. As the main Anglican Church west of the city, St Peter’s attracted a large congregation including many well-known early colonists and public figures. The original church proved inadequate for the needs of the growing congregation and was enlarged in 1860 and 1861. The oldest surviving portion of the present church is the Early English style chancel, added in 1875.
