  • James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?
    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

  • 1 the Presbyterian Way of Life in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand Dr
    The Presbyterian way of life in nineteenth-century New Zealand Dr Alison Clarke [email protected] Paper presented to the Presbyterian Research Network, Dunedin, 15 October 2009. My intention in this paper is to give an overview of the research I have carried out over the past ten years, as it relates to Presbyterians in colonial New Zealand. I will start by saying that one of the key elements of my research into Presbyterians is that I never set out to study them! What I have learned about Presbyterian religious belief and practice is largely a by-product of broader projects and I suspect that gives my work a different focus from that of many other historians of Presbyterianism. My work has been driven by questions about the New Zealand colonial project. What happened when migrants from Europe brought their social, cultural and religious practices to this country? Which of those practices survived the migration process, and how did they evolve in response to the different physical and cultural environment they encountered? Which practices did Maori and European adopt and adapt from one another, and how were migrants from particular communities within Europe affected by the practices of other migrant groups? Did a distinctive Pakeha culture develop out of these cultural encounters? These questions lie at the heart of my research, along with a simpler – perhaps even naïve – one: what were the lives of ‘ordinary’ people like in this period? There are many elements of colonial life which have yet to be examined by historians but were clearly central to the way people lived.

  • R.A. Lawson's Architectural Works
    R.A. Lawson’s Architectural Works PETER ENTWISLE Peter Entwisle ©2013 ii Introduction This is a list of the building projects of the architect R.A. Lawson (1833-1902) compiled to accompany Norman Ledgerwood’s biography Pinnacle to Precipice. It has proved too extensive to publish as part of the book but it is hoped to make it accessible by other means. The aim has been to make the list as comprehensive and accurate as possible. Even so it will not be complete and because it traverses numerous complex questions it will almost certainly contain errors. In compiling it I have been greatly assisted by Mr Ledgerwood’s work and have had useful additions and comment from, and discussions with, David Murray of the Hocken Collections. I would like to thank both of these energetic and generous researchers for their substantial contributions but remain personally responsible for the result. Lawson was a great Victorian architect and the list offers an opportunity to see the scale, variety and quality of his achievement. It seems remarkable it has taken so long for a book-length biography to appear. Given that Mr Ledgerwood had rolled up his sleeves and vigorously embarked on the task, and Stewart Harvey had placed himself firmly behind its publication, it seemed timely to produce an as nearly comprehensive reckoning as possible. Peter Entwisle Dunedin Acknowledgements In compiling the list I have been assisted by many individuals but especially the staff at the Hocken Collections and the Dunedin Public Library’s Heritage Collections who were ever willing and helpful and have a special knowledge of those depositories’ holdings.

  • Seismic Ratings for Degrading Structural Systems
    Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, Vol. 48, No. 3, September 2015 AN INVENTORY OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY CHURCHES IN NEW ZEALAND Alessandra Marotta1, Tatiana Goded2, Sonia Giovinazzi3, Sergio Lagomarsino4, Domenico Liberatore5, Luigi Sorrentino6 and Jason M. Ingham7* (Submitted April 2015; Reviewed July 2015; Accepted July 2015) ABSTRACT Churches are an important part of New Zealand’s historical and architectural heritage. Various earthquakes around the world have highlighted the significant seismic vulnerability of religious buildings, with the extensive damage that occurred to stone and clay-brick unreinforced masonry churches after the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes emphasising the necessity to better understand this structural type. Consequently, a country-wide inventory of unreinforced masonry churches is here identified. After a bibliographic and archival investigation, and a 10 000 km field trip, it is estimated that currently 297 unreinforced masonry churches are present throughout New Zealand, excluding 12 churches demolished in Christchurch because of heavy damage sustained during the Canterbury earthquake sequence. The compiled database includes general information about the buildings, their architectural features and structural characteristics, and any architectural and structural transformations that have occurred in the past. Statistics about the occurrence of each feature are provided and preliminary interpretations of their role on seismic vulnerability are discussed. The list of identified churches is reported in annexes, supporting their identification and providing their address. INTRODUCTION widespread damage to stone and clay-brick URM churches (Figure 1) [7]. Hence, a research project was undertaken to Unreinforced masonry (URM) is one of the construction identify the New Zealand stock of URM churches and to materials that was most frequently used in New Zealand’s interpret the damage observed in the area affected by the early built heritage and URM churches represent a significant Canterbury earthquakes [8].
