  • William Wakefield Memorial Dufferin Street
    Date: 26 November 2013 William Wakefield Memorial Dufferin Street Summary of heritage significance • The Wakefield Memorial is of architectural value for its design and form, in particular as a Victorian interpretation of Classical architecture and the Grecian temple form. The structure is simple but well formed and attractive. • This memorial is one of Wellington’s most significant monuments. It is primarily associated with William Wakefield, whose life and achievements it commemorates. William Wakefield (1803-1848) was the first leader of the Wellington settlement in 1840, a key official in the New Zealand Company, and a significant figure in the European colonisation of Wellington and New Zealand. • The Wakefield Memorial is an unusual type of structure for a memorial, with most others in Wellington being statues or obelisks. Nationally it is a rare structure as prefabricated monuments are unusual in New Zealand, and the cast iron elements add to its significance. 1 Date: 26 November 2013 District Plan: Map 16, reference 11 Lot 1 DP 90475 (CT WN58A/615), Wellington Land Legal Description: District Heritage Area: HPT Listed: Category I, reference 1441, Basin Reserve Historic Area Archaeological Site: NZAA Central City Archaeological Are R27/270 Other Names: - Key physical dates: Construction: 1850s, Relocated: 1882, 1917, 2006 Architect / Builder: - Former uses: Memorial Current uses: Memorial Earthquake Prone Status: Unknown at time of writing Extent: Cityview GIS 2013 2 Date: 26 November 2013 1.0 Outline History 1.1 History1 The Wakefield Memorial commemorates Colonel William Wakefield (1803-1848), the first leader of the Wellington settlement in 1840, a key official in the New Zealand Company, and a significant figure in the European colonisation of Wellington and New Zealand.

Its time parameters – 1853-71 – are the period of the provincial administration control of migration into New Zealand. The key research questions of this study are: Who migrated to New Zealand during this period and how did the migration affect their life chances? What were the social and economic effects of this migration, particularly on the poorer local families? How did these effects compare with other parish assisted migration in eastern England? Stoke by Nayland in 1851 appears to have been a relatively settled farming community dominated by a few wealthy landowners so emigrants were motivated more by the ‘pull’ of the areas they were moving to than by being ‘pushed’ by high levels of unhappiness ‘at home’.

  • Labourers' Letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and Pedagogies of Appropriation
    Labourers' letters in the New Zealand Journal, Wellington, 1840-45: Lefebvre, Bernstein and pedagogies of appropriation. Sue Middleton School of Education, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand School of Education University of Waikato Private Bag 3105, Waikato Mail Centre Hamilton 3240 New Zealand. Email: [email protected] Paper presented at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference, University of Manchester, 2-5 September 2009 Henri Lefebvre suggested that social researchers engage in „the concrete analysis of rhythms‟ in order to reveal the „pedagogy of appropriation (the appropriation of the body, as of spatial practice)‟. Lefebvre‟s spatial analysis has influenced educational researchers, while the idea of „pedagogy‟ has travelled beyond education. This interdisciplinary paper combines Lefebvre‟s analytical trilogy of perceived, conceived and lived spaces with Bernstein‟s „pedagogical device‟ in an interrogation of historical documents. It engages in a „rhythm analysis‟ of the New Zealand Company‟s „pedagogical appropriation‟ of a group of agricultural labourers into its „systematic colonisation scheme‟. The temporal-spatial rhythms of the labourers‟ lives are accessible in nine surviving letters they wrote in Wellington and sent to Surrey between 1841-1844. By revealing how their bodies were „traversed by rhythms rather as the „ether‟ is traversed by waves,‟ we understand how bodies, social space and the self are mutually constitutive and constituted. Keywords: history; Lefebvre; letters/literacy; colonisation Education‟s fragmented fields of inquiry retain some coherence in their common orientation around the „pedagogical.‟ As borders between human sciences became increasingly porous, the idea of „the pedagogical‟ flowed beyond education into disciplines such as geography.

  • (2004) a Sort of Conscience: the Wakefields. by Philip Temple
    80 New Zealand Journal of History, 38, 1 (2004) A Sort of Conscience: The Wakefields. By Philip Temple. Auckland University Press, Auckland, 2002. 584 pp. NZ price: $69.95. ISBN 1-86940-276-6. MY FIRST REACTION when asked to review this book was to ask myself, ‘is another book on Edward Gibbon Wakefield (EGW) really necessary, can more be wrung from that proverbial “thrice squeezed orange”?’ And, if so, need the book be of such length? What Philip Temple establishes in A Sort of Conscience is that the answer to these questions must surely be ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. Because here is a ‘panoramic book’ (the publisher’s term) this review will limit itself to its more striking features. First, the underlying argument. While conceding that the lives of almost the whole of the Wakefield family revolved around the career of ‘its most dynamic individual’, EGW himself, Temple believes that, in turn, the career of the great colonial reformer can be explained only when placed in the setting of the collective lives of members of the family. The result is a close consideration of the life story of certain dominating Wakefield figures. We learn of Priscilla, EGW’s radical Quaker grandmother, whose influence spanned generations, of whom hitherto most of us have known nothing. And there is the anatomization of EGW of course, his brothers William and Arthur, and his son Edward Jerningham (Teddy) about each of whom, after reading this book we must admit that we knew far less than we imagined. The Wakefields were a dysfunctional family, although Temple carefully does not introduce this concept until the close of the book lest we prejudge its members.

Nelson Provincial Museum, Bett Loan Collection AC804 On Saturday 26 August 1843, pay day for the gang-men employed on the New Zealand Company’s public relief works, acting police magistrate George White frantically prepared for the confrontation to come. Having deployed Nelson’s entire police force to the port and hidden them inside houses surrounding the Company store, White was on his way himself when he was met by a constable in haste. An angry group of 70 to 80 gang- men, armed with guns, clubs and the collective experience of months of continuous conflict, were waiting for him. White sent for reinforcements, hoping the Sheriff could muster up some settlers as special constables. “The generality of the persons however were very reluctant to be sworn in, and some refused.”1 Settlers believed that they too would become objects of attack. Class lines between settlers and labourers had been drawn. In fact, they were there from the beginning. The next hour would not go well for White. Nor was it the first time White, his fellow magistrates and the New Zealand Company officials had confronted the gang-men – agricultural labourers, artisans and their wives who found themselves relying on relief work not dissimilar to schemes administered by the English parishes they had only recently left behind.

The British Empire was both liberal and coercive. The 1830s was a period when humanitarian concern played an important role in the formation of policy: as Raewyn Dalziel puts it, New Zealand “[came] within the Empire at a moment of liberal humanitarianism”. 1 One key step was the abolition of slavery in 1833 2 (Britain had earlier abolished the slave trade in 1807). 3 Another key step was the parliamentary address to the Crown of July 1834 sponsored by the radical Liberal MP Thomas Fowell Buxton seeking an inquiry into the conditions of indigenous peoples in British possessions.
