  • 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 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.

  • "A Distressing Lack of Regularity": New Zealand Architecture in the 1850S Date
    "a distressing lack of regularity": New Zealand architecture in the 1850s Date: Friday 7th December 2012 Venue: School of Architecture/Te Wāhanga Waihanga, Victoria University/Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy ([email protected]) When Colonel Mould of the Royal Engineers at Auckland reported on behalf of the New Zealand Government on Ben Mountfort's proposed accommodation for Governor Thomas Gore Browne, he queried the design's ability to be ""lastingly pleasing to the eye,"" and identified the building's "distressing lack of regularity." This conference asks whether this phrase, describing Mould's discomfort with Mountfort's picturesque design, might also describe New Zealand's built environment in the 1850s more broadly as it negotiated architectural cultural exchanges, largely resulting from incoming British settlers' "flight from flunkeydom and formality." Philippa Mein Smith refers to a William Strutt drawing to indicate its cultural hybridity, as well as "the power of the "pioneer legend,"" unpinned by the religious ideology of western commerce: "Pioneers tamed the land and, they believed, made it productive as God intended." Provincial Government and a General Assembly were established, following the British Parliament's New Zealand Constitution Act (1852), which also seemingly prompted the originator of New Zealand's systematic colonisation, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, to arrive in New Zealand in 1853. Wakefield, according to Smith, was hopeful of a political career in the colonial government, now made possible by the Act. In the 1850s significant changes to the mechanism of British government in New Zealand occurred: the end of the Crown colony (1841-1853), when a Governor, with an executive council, "ruled" the colony, the appointment of a Resident Magistrate (Archibald Shand) to the Chathams (1855), and the conclusion of George Grey's first governorship in 1853.

  • Woolston / Heathcote Cemetery Tour
    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.
