    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.

    Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852

    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

Updates will be provided on: http://www.kiwiscience.com/duvauchelle.html 1 Executive summary In 2014, the Christchurch City Council (CCC) commissioned Lincoln University to determine options for the beneficial reuse of Treated Municipal Wastewater (TMW) from Duvauchelle and Akaroa, Banks Peninsula through a lysimeter experiment and a field trial. Following an initial assessment of the soils where the TMW would be applied, a lysimeter trial was set up at Lincoln University in December 2014. This trial comprised 18 50 cm x 70 cm lysimeters containing intact soil cores from the golf course at Duvauchelle (12 lysimeters) and an area between Takamatua and Akaroa (6 lysimeters). The soils from Duvauchelle and Takamatua were Barry’s soil and a Pawson silt loam, respectively.

    Beckenham Land Story.Pdf

    1 CONTENTS Preface The Land Story Reference and Background Material The People Story Sydenham Methodist Church and Its Predecessors Lower High Street Bible Christian Church Beckenham Methodist Church Bibliography 2 PREFACE The Methodist Church of New Zealand has asked each Parish to examine its Land Story. We were to trace the history of the properties we have and the way the land was acquired. The Parish was grateful that Pat Greening was prepared to undertake this task. This work has been done in considerable detail reflecting diligence and sensitivity. We realised this was only Part I of ‘Our Story’ and that we also needed to record something of our past in terms of people and places. In a work of this nature it is always a problem deciding how much to include and how much to leave out. Inevitably some will say, ‘They haven’t mentioned such-and-such or so-and-so.’ For this reason it was decided to use names very sparingly, mentioning only key figures who could scarcely be omitted. Our aim was to tell a story rather than produce an archival document or definitive history which could have become cluttered up with long lists of nams of office-bearers or others who featured to a greater or less degree in the life of the Church. This story is simply intended to record landmarks in the church’s history and to recall something of the corporate life and activities of the various centres of worship available to the early residents of Beckenham - centres which contributed to the amalgam which has finally come together on the land which Pat Greening wrote about.
  • The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association

    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

To my knowledge there is no historic information on the ecological state of these mudflats yet there is potential for impacts from human activities and there has been for some time. Concerns expressed by local residents about the health of the mudflats prompted this study. To assess the state of the mudflats sediment and biota samples were collected from four sites in both Governors Bay and Charteris Bay and six sites from Head of the Bay. Sediment samples were analysed for sediment grain size, organic matter content and concentrations of total nitrogen, total recoverable phosphorus and the metals copper, lead and zinc. The biota collected on a 0.5 mm screen were identified and counted and all cockles present were measured. The sediment at sampled sites ranged from very muddy, to muddy, to muddy sand, to muddy sand with shell/rock fragments.

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.
